Capogruppo Jim #Clyburn (#D|Centro-sinistra): "La speaker #Pelosi ha lasciato un segno indelebile nel Congresso e nel Paese, e auspico che continui servire il Paese e faccia tutto il possibile per assistere la nostra nuova generazione di leader democratici che spero siano Hakeem #Jeffries, Katherine #Clark e Pete #Aguilar."
