When I asked Rachel Bede to describe what today is going to look like on Capitol Hill, she was blunt.

It's going to be chaos.

Rachel is a reporter over at Politico. She says this chaos is going to kick off right away,

as representatives meet up to elect a speaker to lead the lower chamber.

And as that happens, Rachel, she'll have her eyes on one person, the outgoing speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

While she's going to be sitting in the chamber, my guess with her legs crossed and her arms crossed smuggling,

and really probably enjoying this moment when Kevin McCarthy is going to be squarming.

Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is going to be squarming because of how hard he's been working to scare up enough votes to replace Pelosi.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a meme of her reaction to McCarthy trying to get the gavel on January 3rd,

because it's going to be quite something.

Rachel is not sentimental about this changing of the guard, but as a reporter, she is already getting slightly nostalgic.

You know, you could always just go up to Pelosi and walk and talk with her in the hall,

ask her questions at her weekly press conference, and you know, she might often be on talking point,

but she answers them. That's going to change, I think, next year.

Kevin McCarthy is going to have such a slim majority in Congress.

He's going to be, you know, in many ways trying to avoid questions that put him in a bind with his own members.

Do you think Washington is going to miss Nancy Pelosi when she's out of leadership?
