From Axios:
On Day 3 of the speaker fight, Senate President Pro Tem Patty Murray (D-Wash.) wakes up as second in line to the presidency.
While the speaker race is a joke, this highlights the fact that there’s not a single prominent Democrat politician I’d have confidence in to be president. There are no more Harold Ford Jrs., Scoop Jacksons, Joe Liebermans, or even Bill Clintons (minus the misogyny).
