Scott Applewhite/AP House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told CNN this week she's "100 percent confident" she'll be the next speaker of the House. The group, which includes Pelosi critics like Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts, Tim Ryan of Ohio and Kathleen Rice of New York among others, held its first meeting Wednesday night, according to congressional sources. Without an alternative, the group is instead focusing on building a public case that Pelosi doesn't have the votes she would need to win a January floor vote electing the next speaker. In the days since the election at least half a dozen Democrats have publicly reaffirmed their support for Pelosi's leadership, including newly elected members like David Trone of Maryland as well as longtime supporters like Illinois' Jan Schakowsky.
