They may have someone they are rooting for, but they should keep those opinions to themselves until we have a nominee. Otherwise it just looks terrible. What's the outcome? If Obama comes out and says he's rooting for Newsom and then Newsom gets creamed in the primaries by Josh Shapiro, now it's embarrassing going into the general that our nominee looks like his second choice.
Pelosi isn't a nobody in the party. She doesn't have the luxury of acting like she's a nobody in the party. She needs to keep her damn mouth shut and keep her finger off the scale until we have a nominee.
And absolutely, she may have been elected by the voters to serve in her house seat, but there are people (her, Schumer) who have served in their leadership positions for TOO LONG. They are out of touch, and need to step aside to make way for new, younger leadership.
Hmm... seems like that's what David Hogg was saying.
