Yeah, the dems wait to the end make it dramatic. I’m sure there is a book on this topic alone. Nothing like a fake race.

But can she govern? I think she's going to have the same problems Ryan had, a party beset by fringes.

(Wikipedia)
Representatives voting for someone other than their party's speaker nominee were:
■ Jared Golden, who voted for Tammy Duckworth, who was not a member of the House at the time;
■ Conor Lamb, who voted for Hakeem Jeffries;
■ Mikie Sherrill, Abigail Spanberger, and Elissa Slotkin, who voted "Present". -

Pelosi, now 80 years old, also breaks the record for being the oldest person elected into the Speaker position. The previous record holder was Sam Rayburn from Texas, who was 78 years old at the time.

Democrats are breaking all kinds of records for installing geezers into office!
BTW: Boehner was elected with a similar slim vote.
