Not sure if I’d be that confident (unless I missed some sarcasm). The article quotes him as staying he’d never want to challenge her for her seat, and he’s just waiting for it to open once she retires so he can run. Also refers to Pelosi as an “icon” that he wants to succeed. That’s not an indicator of someone who wants to go against the establishment.
At a minimum this guy won’t have the same level of intuitional clout Pelosi used many many times to hinder progressive policies and engage in political horse trading. So even if this guy is literally a 1-for-1 Pelosi clone he’ll be a much weaker hurdle to overcome than she was.
Come on, does this really need the /s to catch the sarcasm?
Thought it might have been sarcasm, but honestly wasn’t sure.
Since the headline is missing context and could be interpreted as a newcomer looking to kick Pelosi out of her seat, and knowing how many users on Lemmy just reply to headlines without reading the article itself, the possibility of that happening just seemed stronger I guess.
