Seth Moulton Backs Nancy Pelosi For House Speaker, Which He Didn’t Two Years Ago

November 10, 2020

Congressman Seth Moulton didn’t want Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House two years ago. Now, he has changed his mind.

The Salem Democrat who represents the Sixth Congressional District of Massachusetts was among those seeking a different person for the role in 2018. This time around, he says he won’t do that.

“This is a very different moment,” Moulton told GBH News in a recent interview. “I will always vote for the best person. In this moment in history that candidate is Nancy Pelosi, because she is the best person to hold the caucus together, which is what we will need to do to accomplish Joe Biden’s agenda.”
