    Speaker of the House is different from Minority Leader.

    She was removed as Speaker when the House fell to Republican control.

    She voluntarily stepped down as minority leader almost exactly 2 years ago, replaced by Hakeem Jeffries.

    She’s no longer a leader of the party other than in terms of seniority. Hasn’t been for 2 years.

      Calm down with the paragraph breaks

      We’re talking about leadership within the democratic party

      Not leadership positions in congress

        She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.

        The only thing separating her from any other person in Congress is seniority. She’s #5 in congress behind 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats:

        Hal Rogers - R - Kentucky - Dean of the House
        Chris Smith - R - New Jersey
        Steny Hoyer - D - Maryland
        Marcy Kaptur - D - Ohio

        I can’t speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today. Steny Hoyer, definitely.

          She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.

          She has donors and money and client patron relationships with people in power, including the current democratic party leadership in your formulation

          I can’t speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today.

          Yes that’s correct
