There has been no actual voting for speaker but we laready know there are 18 dems who won’t vote for Pelosi. Counting votes is how the congress works. Write your bill, do the ground work, get people to come along with you, win them over. If they go to pelosi with a bill and commitments from 250 members to support it, there is no way she won’t bring it to the floor to a vote.
Also, to be speaker, you have to protect your majority. You have members that want a vote for medicare for all. But they are all from safe districts where a vote for medicare for all helpe them. The speaker has to look at the 20-40 members that are from districts where a vote yes on that will put their seats in jeopardy.
Now if you know a bill will not get pass the senate and damn sure can’t override a presidential veto, why would you bring it up and mak some of your members vite no and alienate themselves from the caucus or vote yes and lose thier seats for a bill that cannot pass.
And if you think this is speculation, go look at all of the Dem congress members that sacrificed their seats to get the ACA passed. The House lost 60 seats.
