Recently well over a dozen House Democrats signed a letter expressing their opposition to Nancy Pelosi becoming the next Speaker of the House. Rep. Marcia Fudge was among those said to be preparing to challenge Pelosi for the speakership, but she changed her mind.

Pelosi’s road to the speakership looks like it’s getting a little smoother.
