Incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer on Tuesday took a swipe at one-time rival Nancy Pelosi Tuesday for discussing term limits with key holdouts in the Democratic caucus as she continues to move toward retaking the speaker's gavel in January.
The Maryland Democrat, currently House minority whip, reiterated to reporters Tuesday that he is not supportive of term limits in any way — whether for tenure in Congress or leadership for chairmanships and ranking member positions. Hoyer then jabbed at Pelosi, now House minority leader, saying she isn't "negotiating for me" in the ongoing talks.
"She's not negotiating for me," Hoyer said, adding that she has not kept him apprised of the ongoing negotiations. "I think there's a lot of discussion about it. I don't think it's going to happen. I hope it doesn't happen."
