Clyburn’s Decision

James Clyburn is running for the House again, because apparently he’s not done yet. The Democratic power broker had kept his plans quiet, but it’s clear he wants to stick around to see a historic milestone: the first Black speaker elected. And honestly, who can blame him? It’s a pretty big deal.

What’s at Stake

The party is well positioned to reach this milestone next year, and Clyburn’s presence will likely play a significant role. It’s not like he’s going to let a little thing like ‘generational change’ get in the way. He’s got a goal in mind, and he won’t let anything – or anyone – stand in his way.
