It's really not. As before, the republicans became the majority and as before, she, now in the minority, had to step down. Doesn't mean I'm not happy about it - it's just that some people seem to think it's the first and only time.
It IS the first time. I think you are both confused. Last time she lost Speaker, she still ran for and became Minority Leader. What she is saying here is that she will not run for that position. This will be the first time she is out of any leadership role at all.
No, it’s different. She is no longer in a leadership position with the demoncrats. When they were the minority party she was still the minority leader.
