The speaker said she was not worried about their rhetoric if that\u2019s what it takes for them to win their respective races. But Pelosi attempted to play both sides, saying that generational change is necessary, but experience is also important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say just win, baby. Just win,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cIf that\u2019s what you have to say to win, fine, and we will not in any way do anything but totally support [you] \u2014 mobilization-wise, message-wise, money-wise \u2014 for those people to win their races. Yes, we need generational change. Of course we do. But in some cases there\u2019s no substitute for experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they\u2019re after us \u2014 look, just win, that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying to people,\u201d Pelosi continued. \u201cJust win your races, because nothing less is at stake than our democracy, nothing less is at stake than our planet, nothing less is at stake than our freedoms, a woman\u2019s right to choose \u2026 there\u2019s so many things at stake in this election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are very valued members of Congress,\u201d Pelosi said of the members. \u201cWe respect them for what they believe and what they do, we want them to be re-elected. I don\u2019t have any problem with anybody criticizing me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The speaker\u2019s comments came in response to Democratic Michigan congresswoman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-rep-calls-for-new-blood-in-her-party-when-asked-if-she-would-support-bidens-re-election\">Elissa Slotkin<\/a>, who called for new leadership in an interview last week. \u201cI have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation and we need new blood, period, across the Democratic Party, in the House, the Senate, and the White House,\u201d Slotkin said, adding, \u201cI think that the country has been saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin also recounted how she was part of a small group of Democrats who refused to vote for Pelosi for Speaker when Democrats took the House in 2018, and stood by that decision. \u201cI would love to see new leaders. I would love to see some midwestern leaders in there, right? That\u2019s been important to me, is, reflect the middle of the country, we\u2019re here, too. But, I do think new blood is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin\u2019s comments followed a previous call for new leadership by Virginia Democratic Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/vulnerable-house-democrat-calls-for-new-leadership-after-top-dems-stall-stock-trading-ban\">Abigail Spanberger<\/a>. Spanberger, who is running in a close race in Virginia\u2019s 7th Congressional District, unloaded on Democratic leadership after they stalled a bipartisan effort to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. \u201cThis moment marks a failure of House leadership \u2014 and it\u2019s yet another example of why I believe that the Democratic Party needs new leaders in the halls of Capitol Hill, as I have long made known,\u201d Spanberger said in a statement after the bill was put on hold until after the midterm election.<\/p>\n<p>Other Democrats have issued similar calls for new blood in the party, specifically as it relates to President Joe Biden running for re-election in 2024. Democratic Minnesota Reps. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/two-congressional-democrats-call-for-biden-replacement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dean Phillips and Angie Craig<\/a> both called for new leadership and said they would not support Biden running in 2024; Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan, who is running for Senate in Ohio, also called for \u201cnew leadership across the board\u201d among Democrats and Republicans alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi\u00a0(D-CA) downplayed members of her own party calling for new leadership.
