Democrat Ben McAdams, running for Utah’s 4th Congressional District, says he won’t back Nancy Pelosi for speaker if both he and House Democrats prevail in November.
McAdams, Salt Lake County’s mayor, is among at least 10 House Democrats, including eight in the party’s “red-to-blue” push to take House seats from Republican incumbents, who say they’d vote thumbs-down on returning the California congresswoman to the speakership if the party wins back control of the House in November.
Regardless of how McAdams might feel about Pelosi, a vote for him potentially gives her back the speaker’s gavel, the Love campaign said Thursday.
