There was already some house dems that didn't want Pelosi to be Speaker back in 2018.

Now, ever since the Republicans flipped a lot of house seats their way, given the socialist rhetoric + the Democrats stance on defunding police departments, even MORE democrats are pissed off at Pelosi and want someone else.

Vernon Jones doesn't hold a congressional seat. He's a Democrat in Georgia's House of Representatives.

I'm not 100 percent, but I dont think the speaker is required to come from the pool of house congressmen.

This is correct. It's almost always been an elected member of the House, but it's in the Constitution that the Speaker of the House can be anyone.

^ This.

AOC's giant horse face is salivating at the possibility of putting a full blown commie in as speaker.
