this was tim ryan's argument all along. out -- he is the youngstown, ohio, blue-collar manufacturing district. trump won the district. he says i am the guy who can go to fish fries. i can talk to these voters. we can get these voters back to the democratic fold. pelosi recognizing this and realizing she has to do something, which she did not do in 2010. the challenge was not strong enough. this year is very different. she has carved out a number of new leadership posts. if you ask the critics, they say they are cosmetic things to cover her -- for her to save face. if you ask of those who are being placed in those positions, they are appreciative that they are going to have a spot at the table. they will be in those weekly leadership meetings as they steer message and policy. that is the type of thing you are going to see pete we had some elections on friday. we are going to have some elections this afternoon when congress returns. those names will be unrolled. host: what happens this afternoon? guest: they are going to vote

be sure to watch "washington at 7:00 a.m.e eastern on thursday morning. >> congressman tim ryan of ohio challenge house minority leader nancy pelosi for the top leadership post for house democrats and was defeated. he spoke to reporters following the election. is joined by several supporters. rep. ryan: first, i would like to thank these members who stood by me. it was an uphill battle. we only had a few weeks to put it together. my staff and the members of came out publicly for me. we got the message out that we wanted to get out, which is that , as democrats, we need to talk about economics, the issue that unites us. many of you have heard me say that when million times in the past few weeks. if we're going to win as democrats, we need an economic message that will resonate in every corner of this country. come out of this leadership election united as democrats and take on the challenges that we need moving forward. i am disappointed because i like to win. but, i think it was a great discussion. i think honestly that the party is better off. i have happy to take any questions. >> wha

tim ryan believes in all of those issues that i just mentioned. the most conservative democrat is going to vote for all of those things that nancy pelosi believes in. so when she says unity, she is talking about issues. what they have to figure out is how to convince voters that they're on the same page. that those issues actually will resonate and help them on a day to day practical basis. so i think what you're going to see them do going into the future is hone that message. how can we convince people that we are for them. and how do we translate these polls, all of these things, minimum wage, social security, medicare. all of these economic-based things. how do we translate that into simple language that can go on a bumper sticker and get people to go to polls. >> to share his thoughts on the republican and his its future. mark lillis, our current guest to talk about these things reporting for hill. you can go to thehill.com to see his writing about what is going on in the house and the senate. republican line, you are up first for our guest. g

this time there was a three votes for tim ryan. what accounts in your view for the loss of support within the caucus of one third of voters voting for tim ryan? ms. pelosi: i have only said that that i would have to thirds. with all due respect to previous opponents that i have had, none of them -- had an aggressive campaign in the public arena, as you have seen. confident that the folks i have seen, i feel more liberated than i ever have after such a hard campaign. campaign some on filing and running against u-verse versus the very aggressive campaign. having said that, i commend tim ryan for working with all of our members as we go forward. i could not be prouder. -- i cannotbility be prouder about the responsibility my colleagues have given me. >> [indiscernible] people did not expect a challenge. [indiscernible] i think i answer that question and i want to go on to the fact that the republicans are trying to end the guaranty of medicare. and that is what is important. how many votes i get in the caucus is about the least import

this was tim ryan's argument all along. he said nancy pelosi, she is as liberal icon but she particularly to my district and win votes. he points out, he's from ohio,co blue caller manufacturing district or he's got 68% of the vote but donald trump on the district. he said i'm a guy that can go to the fisheye, i can go to the church services and i can talk to these voters and we can get these voters back into the democratic fold. so pelosi not ceding leadership, one, but recognizing and realizing she has to do something which she did not do in 2010, the challenge wasn't strong enough, the groundswell of discontent wasn't strong enough. issue a certificate she hasof carved out a number of new leadership posts. if you ask the critics they say they're just cosmetic things to cover her, you know, for her to save face and say yes, we are doing this, bringing more voices and. bringing more voices and. if you ask those are being placed in these positions, they're very appreciative they'll have a spot at the table. they will be in

and tim ryan ran for two weeks. weeks over thanksgiving break he was able to gather the votes of a third of the caucus. what that says is that the status quo isn't working, that we're not going to bin back the house in 2018 by continuing to do what we've done in the last several elections which have been disastrous. >> and that said, we're not in an election cycle right now right at this second except to the extend that it's always an election cycle. it seems to me that the challenge for democrats now is not the same as it was before november 8th. now there's this very interesting political situation in this country where we've got an incoming administration with complete control of the levers of power in washington and it's going to be a very unusual administration, it's going to be unprecedented in some ways. seems to me now the question is how the democrats are going to distinguish themselves as the minority in the era of trump. and i don't know if that's a different imperative as far as you see it compared to wh

. >> reporter: a third of the caucus voted for tim ryan of ohio over nancy pelosi. it's clear she has a difficult task of trying to reunite her party. >> i'm worried we sign eed the death certificate. >> reporter: there's a sense of relief for pelosi and her allies. >> i have a special spring in my step today because this opportunity is a special one to lead the house democrats, bring everyone together as we go forward. >> reporter: she's been the top democrat in the house for more than a dozen years. in rank and file members have argued it's time for change. her challenger represents a working class area near cleveland, ohio, where many favored donald trump's message. >> the emphasis needs to be on the issue that unites everybody. that issue is economics. it's jobs. it's wages. it's pension, benefits. it's not just talking about the minimum wage. it's about talking about middle class incomes that haven't gone up in 30 years. >> reporter: he earned 20 more votes than pelosi's previous challenger in 2010. to hold on to power, pelosi created more opportunities for you

this was tim ryan's argument all along.he is the youngstown, ohio, blue-collar manufacturing district. trump won the district. he says i am the guy who can go to fish fries. i can talk to these voters. we can get these voters back to the democratic fold. pelosi recognizing this and realizing she has to do something, which she did not do in 2010. the challenge was not strong enough. this year is very different. she has carved out a number of new leadership posts. if you ask the critics, they say they are cosmetic things to cover her -- for her to save face. if you ask of those who are being placed in those positions, they are appreciative that they are going to have a spot at the table. they will be in those weekly leadership meetings as they steer message and policy. that is the type of thing you are going to see pete we had some elections on friday. we are going to have some elections this afternoon when congress returns. those names will be unrolled. host: what happens this afternoon? guest: they are going to vote on the

i have a large portion saying you supported tim ryan.l be firing someone right after that. >> i was elected to create jobs, please don't fire anyone. >> fair enough. but that was his message. i mean, so, why do you believe that nancy pelosi, who as he pointed out has lost seats for democrats on her watch, why do you think that she is the voice of working class voters moving forward? >> i think that it would be a mistake to either look to one person to totally blame or look at one person as the complete solution. it's much more broad than that. for example, a younger colleague and i just formed something called the blue collar caucus as a way to try towards working on the specific anxiety issues of working class americans. the sort of family that i come from in a neighborhood that i still live in today. the fact is, this is the case in pennsylvania, ohio, michigan, wisconsin, throughout this country, even though the unemployment rate, the stated unemployment rate is pretty good, we've had a 20 to 30-year period of complete stagnation amon

beating back a challenge by ohio congressman tim ryan who launched an upstart bid to replace her afterty's election results and the concerns that democrats have become out of touch with the white working class voters who sent donald trump to the white house. president obama weighed in on that concern in an interview released this week telling rolling stone magazine, quote, in this election they turned out in huge numbers for trump and i think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure to reach those voters effectively. and part is fox news and every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country and part of it is democrats not working at a grass roots level, being there, showing up, making arguments. we're back with kim, james, kate and brett. kim, the three weeks in to this post election period. what lessons are the democrats taking away? >> the heads are still in the sand. you know, they do not want to acknowledge that this is not a failure of getting their message out. it is the message itself. but this is what you're now hearing from them everywhere. obama. people a

nearly a third of the democrats supported tim ryan who challenged the 76-year-old lawmaker. pelosi wants to put a check on trump administration's agenda but what can she really secondber one, and the question, democrats had a bad election night and yet the rank and file stuck with the leadership. does that tell us? >> she has a lot of loyalty within that democratic caucus. an iron fistt with since 2003. she's raised a ton of money for members. and she's very progressive and this is a very progressive of them want to stick with her and they like her and trust her. hand, she did lose 63 votes. that is significant. time she had at significant challenge, 2010, she lost 43 votes. memberse 20 more defecting. there's a more outspoken, more unrest within the democratic caucus in the house than there has been in a long time. that's a real warning sign for forward and giving a platform to a little more -- type, rust belt time democrats but also others, too. marcia fudge, congresswoman, supporting tim ryan and incoming the c.b.c., senator richmond, would not say if he voted for nancy p

one is, let's talk about tim ryan for a second. tim ryan really has a point., pelosi has led the democrats in the house to a series of losses. they've been decimated. why would you go back to pelosi? but the answer is pelosi and money and the fact that she controls the spigot that turns on the money for so many of these house democrats in addition to which so many of the house democrats, close to half finish. kennedy: it's not endless. they come from these places that are out of touch, but now we're hearing that the spigot is going to run dry at some point. >> well -- kennedy: because, the thing about rich people is they don't like losing their money. they're rich because they like to held on to their money, and it's not an endless stream. >> well, don't say that because, look, if you were the koch brothers or you were major republican donors -- kennedy: koch brothers didn't invest in -- >> in trump. no, but they do invest in republican candidates, and eventually -- kennedy: they said they were going to invest up to a billion dollars in this presidential race.

this time there was a three votes for tim ryan. what accounts in your view for the loss of support within the caucus of one third of voters voting for tim ryan? ms. pelosi: i have only said that that i would have to -- i would have two thirds. with all due respect to previous opponents that i have had, none of them -- had an aggressive campaign in the public arena, as you have seen. i feel very confident that the vote that i have received and i feel more liberated than i ever have after such a hard campaign. you cannot campaign someone filing and running against u-verse versus the very aggressive campaign. having said that, i commend tim ryan for working with all of our members as we go forward. i could not be prouder. -- i cannot be prouder about the responsibility my colleagues have given me. >> [indiscernible] people did not expect a challenge.

i think tim ryan tried to offer that. clearly, the caucus decided to stick with ms. change and it's clear she's not the future of the party. tim and others in the congress are going to not only have to rally around themselves but they have to rally around a message and an agenda. i hope democrats understand we're not going to defeat donald trump or not beat back republican proposals by just saying no and by yelling and screaming. if we don't offer substantive, real proposals and answers and counters that speak to the aspirations and dreams of everyday, hard-working middle class americans which is why this carrier deal, as symbolic as it is, is important, we're going to find ourselves in the worst situation. ee have the smallest membership of democrats in the house in almost 40 years. those who are new to the congress, you have to explain that. if we don't pursue a real substantive agenda over the next two years, then shame on us as a party because we will have let down a lot of hard working middle-class americans who depend on democrats. >> nancy pelosi was the first
