Communist Democrats, who took a small majority in the House during last weeks election are facing a dilemma. The majority of Democrat voters don’t want to see botox injected Nancy Pelosi become the next Speaker of the House. They’d prefer more communist left wing types like Ocasio-Cortez.

Before the Democratic Party’s wins in Tuesday’s elections, which gave them majority control in the House of Representatives, U.S. Democrats said they would prefer to have a new leader in Congress. By 56% to 39%, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents said Nancy Pelosi should be replaced as their leader in the House rather than kept in that role by being elected the next speaker. These views are similar among Democrats across the ideological spectrum.
More broadly, Americans have viewed Pelosi much more negatively than positively for some time. Gallup’s June update found 29% of U.S. adults having a favorable opinion of Pelosi and 53% an unfavorable one. Many Republican candidates ran ads during the campaign trying to persuade voters to support them as a way to deny the Democratic Party the majority in Congress and Pelosi the speakership.
