Accusations have begun flying among Democrats in the wake of the crushing special election defeats in Georgia and South Carolina on Tuesday.
Democratic lawmakers are targeting their frustration over failing to gain a seemingly winnable district in Georgia on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
‘We need leadership change. It’s time for Nancy Pelosi to go, and the entire leadership team,’ said Dem Rep Kathleen Rice.
Rice attended the closed-door House Democratic caucus meeting on Wednesday morning but said she did not raise the issue in the session.
Speaking to CNN Rice said: ‘I think that people were in shock’ after hearing a report from Pelosi and the head of the House campaign arm that Democrats lost, but were doing better in contests in other GOP districts.
Massachusetts Democratic Rep Seth Moulton echoed Rice’s complaints, saying ‘It’s clear that, I think, across the board in the Democratic Party we need new leadership… It’s time for a new generation of leadership in the party.’
