New - Pelosi has previously signaled this would be her last term as speaker - but she hasn’t shut door to running again or for re-election. Her potential successors on Hill and SF are watching her closely as she ramps up fundraising with majority on line. cnn.com/2021/05/20/pol…
Hoyer, Clyburn and Jeffries all wouldn't say whether they'd vie for top job if Pelosi quits. "I'll let the drama, in terms of House dynamics, exist on the Republican side of the aisle," Jeffries said.
"I'm still contemplating," Clyburn said
"I'm not thinking about it," Hoyer said
In her San Francisco district, a number of names have emerged as potential replacements, including her daughter, Christine.

If Senate Republicans ultimately block a bipartisan bill to create an independent commission to probe the Jan. 6 attack, Democrats in the House could establish a select committee to investigate the insurrection.
Select committees typically are made up of members of Congress and the majority party would drive the investigation. It would almost certainly have subpoena power as well.
The outside commission is different because it would be comprised of individuals outside of Congress, with both parties making joint decisions on subpoenas. And there would be 10 commissioners equally divided between the two parties.

New -- The prospect of Herschel Walker's #gasen bid is so real that it's frozen the GOP field.

But concerns abound if he's ready for a bruising campaign and if Trump thought through the implications of his endorsement

McConnell tells us it's "wide open"

cnn.com/2021/04/22/pol…
Walker didn't seem to be in any rush to announce.
"Right now, (I'm) just going through the process and thinking about it. Not really talking a lot about it."

"This got nothing to do with President Trump," Walker said. "With me, I'm about this country right now."

Doug Collins is thinking about running again - and he’s spoken with the NRSC, including about the nasty spat he had with the committee last cycle. Rep. Buddy Carter has taken steps to prepare for a Senate run but says he will only run if Walker doesn’t.

New - April is turning out to be a crucial month for any bipartisan deals, with groups of senators holding both informal and formal talks on a range of issues - infrastructure, gun violence, a crackdown on China, police reform, minimum wage and immigration cnn.com/2021/04/14/pol…
"If somebody tells you in their inaugural speech they're for bipartisanship, and they go out and do everything but, it doesn't engender trust," said Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican who says he's been invited to a White House meeting on infrastructure next week.
Blumenthal, Murphy talking to Rs on guns. “Realistically, it's still very much an uphill effort, in part because Republicans are so spooked right now by Donald Trump and his base and the complete irrationality, almost paranoia, of that base when it comes to guns,” Blumenthal says

Joe Manchin, whose opposition to Neera Tanden's nomination as White House budget director stemmed largely from her partisan tweets, told me the situation was different with Colin Kahl, the Pentagon policy chief nominee, who also came under sharp criticism over his past tweets.
Manchin says that Kahl's tweets weren't as "pointed" at specific individuals and senators and were focused much more about policy.

"Tanden's was much more prolific than that -- and pointed," he told me. "It wasn't about policy, it was more about a person. There is a difference."
Still, Manchin said supporting Kahl was "not an easy decision" and said that he had "many phone calls" with the nominee -- and also spoke with Lloyd Austin and Bob Gates. He didn't speak with Biden. He said he made his decision to support the nomination on Wednesday morning.
