Bush\u2019s Iraq War, implementing President Barack Obama\u2019s signature health-care law, impeaching President Donald Trump twice and squeezing President Biden\u2019s sweeping agenda through a narrowly controlled House,\u201d the Post\u2019s Marianna Sotomayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/democrats-pelosi-jeffries\/2022\/01\/01\/317f7792-5cfa-11ec-9c0e-a955f8a009c1_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The article also discussed some of the party\u2019s suggested replacements. New York Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries was noted as \u201cthe early favorite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD) and Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) would certainly rank in the discussions as well, though the report suggested some Democrats are ready for new leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the members interviewed overwhelmingly agreed that Pelosi\u2019s replacement should be equally as historic as electing the first female speaker. That leaves White men who are mulling a run \u2014 such as Hoyer and Rep. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), a Pelosi ally \u2014 in a difficult spot with a party that is looking for more diversity at the top. It is also to the benefit of Jeffries, who would be the first Black person to lead either party in either chamber,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<p>The mention of Pelosi retiring ranks among one of the strongest reports to date regarding the future plans of the current House speaker, as well as who will lead in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTypically, that job would fall to one of the speaker\u2019s top two lieutenants, the majority leader, Steny Hoyer, and majority whip, Jim Clyburn. However, both of them, like Pelosi, are in their early 80s, which has sparked questions about whether it may be time for some fresh faces to manage the House Democratic caucus,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2021\/oct\/11\/nancy-pelosi-retire-who-will-replace-her-if-she-does-democrats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guardian<\/a> reported in October.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi also recently came under fire for her comments about lawmakers and their spouses being able to own stock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause this is a free market and people \u2013 we are a free market economy,\u201d Pelosi told a reporter. \u201cThey should be able to participate in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Listen to how quickly Pelosi said \u201cNo\u201d to the question of wether Members of Congress and their spouses should be banned from owning stock.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi\u2019s salary is $223,500<\/p>\n<p>Her net worth is about $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>You do the math. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZpP6vNuQYf\">pic.twitter.com\/ZpP6vNuQYf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Benny (@bennyjohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bennyjohnson\/status\/1471201346716147719?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pelosi-husband-buy-millions-in-call-options-days-after-she-defended-congress-being-allowed-to-buy-stock-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that just days after making the remarks, starting on December 17th and going through the 21st, Pelosi and her husband bought millions of dollars worth of call options for stocks including Google, Salesforce, Roblox, and Disney.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/12\/30\/nancy-pelosi-buys-call-options-for-google-disney-stocks\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>The Pelosi family\u2019s trades this month include Google and Salesforce call options worth between $500,000 and $1 million each, as well as Roblox call options valued at between $100,000 and $250,000.
