Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.

But the vote comes up this month. Does the new members get a vote?
The vote for who is nominated as leadership is 18th and 19th this month. The new Congress doesn’t get sworn in until January. So don’t think they get a vote.
This is why Schumer and Jeffries are not worried.

No, but you can bet the wheeling and dealing has already started.
