Steny Hoyer 

Steny Hoyer is the number 2 Democrat in the House, this makes him an easy choice for Pelosi’s potential replacement. Another reason many are speculating that Hoyner would take the role is his unwillingness to give in to the demands of freshmen Reps as we have seen in previously internal Democratic struggles. His current position may also jeopardize his chances though, as the number 2 he is linked to the Pelosi leadership and if people want change they probably won’t throw their weight behind him.
