Although Pelosi is expected to retain the presidency after Sunday’s vote, a smaller Democratic majority in the House and the marginalization of some of his allies due to the coronavirus can complicate his path to victory.
Pelosi was able to win the presidency in 2019 despite a revolt by 15 centrist Democrats, but she should not lose more than five Democratic votes this year to secure a simple majority of 217 votes. Although part of the 2019 faction has lost its seats, at least three re-elected are not expected to support it on Sunday.
Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill that he was “fine” in terms of the support needed in December, but would have said in a summons last week that the virus represented a major obstacle.
