Rep. Yvette Clarke is set to become the next chair of the powerful Congressional Black Caucus when the group votes for new leadership in December, not only because the group supports her, but because she’s the only one running for the spot.
But Rep. Steven Horsford, the current CBC chair, was quietly eyeing a bid for a second term, three sources confirmed to NOTUS, despite caucus rules that members can only serve as chair for one term.
As recently as “late last week,” Horsford was telling people that he was “interested in being chair again,” a source familiar with CBC leadership dynamics said.
