hoyer of course released a letter yesterday with 155 members supporting him. that's enough to win the race. clyburn has the support from the congressional black caucus, the most senior member of the leadership there but also has great relationships among other members in the caucus, and they are comfortable with him there. so diana really has an uphill climb there to unseat him. but then again if things shift at the top, it is my view that nancy pelosi, if she is forced out, the people who force her out aren't going to be happy with replacing her with somebody else who has been there forever, and is in their 70s, like hoyer or jim clyburn. it seems like if that happen, the caucus is primed for a real shakeup at the top. >> there is a position called assistant democratic leader, two men running, david of rhode island, and ben ray luhan of new mexico. >> ben ray luhan is the triple seat chair, the campaign wing of the party. they have had an historic party. more seats are still coming in. there is not much of a case to be made that he should not be elevated. if

the days of taking steny hoyer congressman hoyer, anywhere as if there are still reagan democrats out there to be won, they all belong to trump. so the idea that you're going to win back these working class reagan democrats i think democrats are starting to move on from that idea. >> congressman, before you weigh, in does it matter if perception is reality? i'm not saying that nancy pelosi actually is toxic. it may be messaging on the republicans' part. does it matter if it's working and that's the perception out there? go ahead, congressman. >> my point was steny hoyer is not that he would bring back reagan democrats, is that he can go into progressive districts, he can go into moderate districts. it's very hard to demonize him and say whether you like it or not, nancy pelosi is toxic. >> i'm sorry. steny hoyer is the same age as nancy pelosi, the same age as jim clyburn. >> we'll be right back. we'll be right back. so this christmas, take care of the hands that take care of you. that's me in back in 1987, when i gave isotoner gloves to all my teammates. now i have a different set of

majority leader steny hoyer and james clyburn as whip. as we wait for comments.e will show you the briefing that nancy pelosi held with reporters just before she was legitimated by her caucus. ms. pelosi: good afternoon everyone. and i do believe it is a good afternoon. we had a most unifying session just now in the house democratic caucus. ever anddiverse caucus it was so inspiring to hear my colleagues place my name in nomination once again for speaker of the house. how moving it was to hear joe kennedy place the name in omination, to be seconded by kathy castor who has been a leader on climate change. and of course, joe, a friend for many years but a leader in the congress making his own mark. beatty to have joyce and quote president obama. it was moving. the emotion demonstrated by my colleague, adam schiff, when he talked about leadership and the challenges facing our nation was a joy to behold. out.he new members speak we have congresswoman escobar who spoke and placing my name in the nomination about our shared values. we are also joined by members. and sh

i am also pleased that steny hoyer got selected. and then what is very important to me -- one of the things i said when i was nominated steny hoyer is that we as democrats do not have much time to show the nation true leadership. over the last two years, we have been blocked in every way. , oversight,mmittee the republicans have basically our presidentted in doing a number of things he has done that have made many of our constituents feel pretty bad. so now it is our chance to lead. i think nancy pelosi, jim clyburn willjim put us in the position where we can not hit the ground running, but hit the ground flying. we don't have any choice. reporter: what message will they send to the voters? [inaudible] rep. cummings: i guarantee you nancy pelosi will get the vote. i don't have any doubt. to answer your question, i don't anticipate that. -- people have to keep their minds on what we are dealing with. we have dealt with a republican party that is no longer a republican party. it is the party of president trump, and there is a big diff

. >> well, look, i've always been a great steny hoyer fan.ld be an ideal speaker if i were a democrat. that's just me. that said, the reason i say that is because steny hoyer is somebody -- you could take him anywhere in the country. a lot of the democratic house members and candidates are concerned they can't take nancy pelosi into a lot of districts aren't the country. >> but congress dent, that's because republicans have vilified her for the past decade. if i can make that point. look, you be in the house, congressman dent. i defer to you on what's really going on behind the scenes. i just want to make this point. the days of taking steny hoyer anywhere as if there are still reagan democrats out there to be won, they all belong to trump. so the idea that you're going to win back these working class reagan democrats i think democrats are starting to move on from that idea. >> bulis be, congressman, does it matter if perception is reality? i'm not saying that nancy pelosi actually is toxic. it may be messaging on the republicans' part. does

they already have three in the top echelons of leadership with nancy pelosi, steny hoyer and james clyburn. so i think because this vote was so close, there are a number of factors involved. in fact, barbara lee said, ageism certainly was a factor in this race. and a number of alights saying the same thing -- allies saying the same thing. including jackie speier. so that's going to be a discussion i think in the debate that's going to be seen going forward. was ageism involved in the outcome of this race? was sexism involved? these are some of the things we're hearing from barbara lee's camp. host: what about the relationship between hakeem jeffries and leader pelosi? and barbara lee and leader pelosi? is she -- is leader pelosi better off having hakeem jeffries chair the caucus? reporter: nancy pelosi is extremely close with both members. barbara lee and hakeem jeffries. that's why you did not see her tip the balance of this election. she stayed out of this race. she did not endorse anybody. both have progressive values. both are considered allies of nancy pelosi. so i think having hakeem

but guess this is happening that pelosi, hoyer,bu c, steny hoyer, jim clyburn who were the last one,wo, three, i guess they're going to end up the same one, two, three. nobody's running against hoyer. and there is one can't ainst clyburn. but i don't think that person can win. it's a head scratcher to me that the democrats in our national exit poll, she had aav funfave rating of 156 -- going at because she's to be a transitional -- >> i think it's interesting. hakeem jeffress, someone that the black caucus wanted to get behind has agreed to run for the number four spot. i think they cut a deal. >> there may be something up there. but also there is no obvious personn the democratic party anywhere to take over leadership if you try to have a big free for all message of challenging nancy pelosi, you fritter away some of the momentum because everything matter looking ahead to 2020. robert:ll this debat is the democratic caucus. where are the neweaders and there will be more running for president in 2020.e we going to have leif it there. you can find us friday's after 10:00 on our podcast

steny hoyer, who i like a lot, looked at he was at a funeral. i mean, not that he wasn't happy, really happy about democrats picking up a bunch of seats, he had been in districts and worked hard, but you know, i am not sure he enjoyed her taking a victory lap like that. we will have to kind of weight and see. announcer 1: we will return next tuesday, november 15. there is still a number of races in the balance. we know the democrats have won control of the house. there are still some senate races outstanding we continue 2018 coverage taking your phone calls and comments. for democrats. republicans use (202)-748-8001. for independents and others, use (202)-748-8002. in 20 in its, we will show you president trump's news conference from earlier today, midday today. we will continue with your phone calls and comments after that. quite a bit of news right after the president's news conference today was the firing of attorney general jeff sessions. in his letter, and a look at the attorney general supporting the department of justice earlier today, fo

>> so far, steny hoyer, majority leader has no challenges.he one and two spots, no challenges to pelosi or steny hoyer. interestingery challenge to jim clyburn in the number three spot for majority whip position. edit the chief vote counter. from dianehallenge to get from colorado, she has been in that position for seven years now. that is a race i think a lot of people are watching. somewhat of a surprise, and some for best so far no challenges and other two positions, it's the number three spot. >> things get interesting on the well.ican side as , obviously within a majority position things turn to the minority leader position at the and the republican conference. tell us about those elections next week. >> we did have a surprise this week with cathy mcmorris rodgers, the conference chairwoman, who has been in that position for six years now, the highest-ranking republican and leadership in the capital. she decided to bow out of leadership now that republicans are in the minority. been facing a challenge from liz cheney, the daughter of for

[applause] speaker pelosi: thanks to you tomorrow will be a new day in america. [cheers] speaker pelosi: remember this feeling. know the power to win. most of all congratulations to those dynamic, diverse, and incredible candidates who have taken back the house for the american people. let us salute all of our candidates. [app

of the three of them, i think hoyer and cliburn are the two who are the most vulnerable.s are looking to step up. people want to get in the race. here's the real problem. if you get hoyer, cliburn, let's say you got hakeem jeffries who's trying to be democratic caucus chair, you've got ben ray lieu han who wants to be the assistant majority leader, that's a lot of guys, a lot of dudes on that list, right? and pelosi's the only one, and particularly there's no woman of color on that list, and you've got all these women of color stepping up, ocasio-cortez, presley, it would be pretty remarkable if it was nancy pelosi and four or five guys in the leadership team. i'm not sure that's a number that really can hold. >> i still think that one of the bigger headlines and, again, i'm not an ageist, but you look at the average age of the democratic leadership team, and it would seem to be off by about 20, 25 years when compared to your beto o'rourkes or your andrew gillums or your other, you know, rising stars. >> stacey abrams, right. >> thank you, thank you, jamal. >> thanks for

i mean, i think cindy hoyer sounds like the -- i wonder why people don't look at hoyer who is one yearisn't nancy pelosi that's the focus and not someone like hoyer or clyburn who have been around a long time too? >> it leaves one to wonder who is really moving the chess pieces around. look, i think that to be the speaker of the house, you have to be willing to go out there and raise that money. nancy pelosi raised something like $135 million that contributed to the democrats wins this year. she goes around the country and helps out candidates. i mean, people who haven't put the work in the trenchestia sho not be elevated to the leadership because nancy pelosi drove the buggy in, opened up the door to the majority and now you're going to kick her to the curb. it makes no sense and it makes me wonder why -- whether somebody else is moving the chess pieces. if you look at martha fudge, she was a great leader of the cbc but that doesn't mean you'll be a great leader of the speaker of the house. many cbc members have supported nancy pelosi from maxine waters, john lewis, barbara lee, in su

if something happens to pelosi, something happens to hoyer. kennedy, frankly, it's thought that trio of members, that troika forms a symbiotic relationship with the rest of the caucus. kennedy: or maybe a level of co dependency that is unhealthy for a party that's got a massive split down the middle. what i want to been clyburn specifically, is he more popular with the progressive wing of the party? that happens to the most vocal wing of the party, and i think you're right, i think nancy pelosi has a tougher time reining them. in nancy hates steny, she's going to turf his chances of becoming speaker, clyburn is the natural heir apparent. >> you would look at him, hakeem jeffries from new york city, ben ray lujan, the chairman of the congressional campaign committee. he announced he was going to run for assistant leader, but at the end of the day, nancy pelosi is a pretty good vote counter, and she is liberal, represents san francisco, she commanded about 85% of the vote in her re-election bid, there but keep in mind, a lot of the seats they fl

jeffries: i'll be having the conversation with leader pelosi, with steny hoyer, with jim clyburn, informally with other members of the house democratic caucus, and then i'll sit down with the three dccc candidates who are here, and then i'll also have a conversation with sean patrick maloney. get everyone's input in terms of the candidate. hear what the members of the house democratic caucus have to say, and then we'll proceed from there. thank you, everyone. reporter: thank you. reporter: thank you. [indiscernible] [indiscernible] [indiscernible] [indiscernible] rep. pelosi: good afternoon, everyone. and i do believe it is a good afternoon. we had a most unifying session just now in the house democratic caucus. the new house democratic caucus, the most diverse democratic -- ah, caucus ever, and it was so inspiring to hear my colleagues place my name in nomination, once again, for speaker of the house. how moving it was to hear joe kennedy place the name in nomination, to be seconded by kathy castor, a colleague who has been the lead in climate change issues and the rest. of course joe, a fr

i think nancy pelosi, steny hoyer, jim clyburn, will put us in that position where we can not hit the ground running, but hit the ground flying. we don't have any choice. >> what message will they send to voters? [indiscernible] rep. cummings: i guarantee you nancy pelosi will have the vote. i don't have any doubt. i don't anticipate that. , younk that -- you know have to keep this in mind, but we are dealing with the republican party -- this is not the party of president trump. it is a big difference. what we have to do now is we have to reclaim civility, number one. why do we need to reclaim civility? so we can be most effective and efficient with the things we do. the american people have been very clear. even people who are big-time trump supporters, what they said, we want you, democrats to hold our president accountable. and so we are in a position to do that, but we are in a position to do something else. we are not going to spend all of our time issuing subpoenas. we want to spend our time addressing problems that address -- affect the american people on a day-to-day basis. th

some of the names that have come up, certainly, marcia fudge, hoyer or others, they just think that inngs done in washington, they need someone that will be more willing to negotiate and from a political standpoint, no better political trefoil than nancy pelosi. >> two quick points, nothing new about marcia fudge or hoyer, been around a really long time. the second thing is it's naive and down right goofy to think that any democratic leader is going to all of the sudden be, you know, welcomed by republicans across the country. it doesn't, you know, they could elect donald duck the leader and then donald duck then be the republican foil in the next election. these candidates who don't think that they're going to get attacked for their democratic leader, somehow the republicans will be nicer to them if they vote against nancy pelosi are just living in a fantasy world. >> hillary alice, thanks. it will definitely be interesting to watch over the next few weeks. up next, yeah, thanks. how far is the president willing to go to keep his close ties with saudi leadership? and for much more exp

long and they just want to get her and not just her, they want to see the top two lieutenants steny hoyer and james clyburn also go. their main focus is nancy pelosi right now. this is not a new push. when pelosi lost the gavel in 2010 and there was a small insurgency and she faced her first challenger back then, she won easily. she defeated a former blue dog from north carolina and over the course of years, there was this grumbling as the cycles continued and democrats remained in the minority. said16, tim ryan from ohio enough is enough, we have lost quadra cycles in a row, i will challenge her. wastill got 63 votes, which seen as quite a large number for somebody as powerful and popular as pelosi is within a liberal caucus. the insurgent group has always been there and growing and restless and agitating and this year, they saw their break. what is confounding them is their singular argument has always been we cannot take back the majority with nancy pelosi at the helm and here they have just taken back majority. all the support you are seeing around pelosi is not so much the people dis

jeffries: i'll be having the conversation with leader pelosi, with steny hoyer, with jim clyburn, informally with other members of the house democratic caucus. nd then i'll sit down with the three candidates who are here and then i'll also have a conversation with sean patrick maloney. get everyone's input in terms of the candidate. hear what the members of the house democratic caucus have to say, and then we'll proceed from there. thank you, everyone. reporter: thank you. >> the incoming democratic caucus chair, hakim jefferies of new york. he won that vote earlier today, beating out barbara lee of california, the vote 123-113. live on c-span watching the exterior of meeting rooms going on. the democrats' meeting to elect their leaders. gathering here at the longworth house office building across the street from the house side of capitol hill. they will proceed on with elections. at the top of the list is the speaker designee. likely to be nancy pelosi. that will come first and then all of the other leadership positions for the 116th congress. we hope to hear from members during or after th

afield of the way things are supposed to work in this country, and i think our caucus and i know steny hoyer has talked about this, and nancy pelosi has talked about it, trying to get back to normal. having normal hearings where not only members of congress have an opportunity to participate, but are very, very -- the public has an opportunity to participate, too. finally, one of the things that has come up is that we want to do more field hearings. i know my committee will be doing more field hearings going into the districts and the various places in the country so we can hear from americans and hear what their problems are and the things they want us to deal with. so we bring government to our doorstep. again the president has said things like we made it clear and he said that he wanted to -- the only meeting i had with the president was when he told me the drug companies are getting away with murder with regard to jacking up the prices of drugs overnight. he said he was going to do something about it. i said, mr. president, i take you at your word. let's go and do it. we have two more ye

a year and move in, and i don't see clyburn or hoyer saying we will be okay with that. >> exactly.s one of the kind of double edged swords. we saw pelosi try to manage it the last time they were controlled and they will have to do it now with a more progressive caucus in many ways. >> let's see how many energy there will be around impeachment with whatever mueller produces. just as you said, bakari, that a lot of progressives thought the country was changing not as quickly, i think there are a lot of voters out there that feel they are being talked down to and it's a problem for progressives and will continue to be, and there's nobody that can exploit that better than president trump. >> we have to do a better job. democrats have to do a better job with their rhetoric in not being some person that talks down to voters. the only pushback i give to you on that is we did pick up seven governor's seats last night and picked them along that blue wall in michigan and wisconsin. when you look at those things, the democratic party did not have an awful night. to scott's point one of the th

so, you know, i don't think that the idea of at this point challenging steny hoyer or jim clyburn whose elections are today, and that is no question, and maybe i am breaking news, but hakeem jefferies won the election narrowly to chair the caucus, and so he is a young guy, and so he is starting to elevate those from a different crop of leaders, but it is not nancy pelosi's call to say who is going to be where because that is a product of the democratic caucus, and there are as we saw with marcia fudge, there are tools that she can use and agreements to make, but who is in leadership is not one of those things. >> we know that she is adept at exercising that, and that is one of the arguments to keep her as speaker, because she is the kind of the general that one could argue that you democrats need as you take over to figure out what the priorities are going forward. anyway. thank you so much for weigh ing in, and the conversation and i know that you have is to run. thank you, congressman. >> thank you, andrea. >> and capitol hill correspondent kasie hunt is right there in the middle of t
