In a Q & A interview that appeared in Wednesday’s edition of the Montgomery Advertiser, third congressional district Democratic nominee Mallory Hagan said if she wins her election next month, she would not support House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for Speaker of the House.
The possibility of Hagan, a former Miss America, defeating incumbent Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) in the November 6 contest is considered to be a long-shot in the heavily Republican east Alabama congressional district. It is a district that President Donald Trump won by 33 points in the 2016 presidential election, and one Republicans have held since January 1997.
When asked by the Advertiser if she would support Pelosi, Hagan said no.
“No,” she said. “Sixteen years is too long for Mike Rogers and too long for Nancy Pelosi.”
On the Republican side of the ticket, Rogers was asked a similar question about who would support to replace the outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.). He indicated he would support current House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
