In a surprising move, House Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) has ousted Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) from her hideaway office in the Capitol. A top aide on the Republican-controlled House Administration Committee informed Pelosi that she must vacate the space by tomorrow, as the room will be re-keyed, according to Politico. This decision marks a departure from tradition, as hideaways are typically used by Senate members, although a few House members also have them. Pelosi was allowed to have a hideaway due to her former position as House speaker, as reported by NBC News. Pelosi expressed her disappointment in the move and called on the new Republican leadership to focus on matters that are truly important for the American people, stating that office space is not a priority for her. Unfortunately, Pelosi is currently unable to move her belongings as she is in California attending the funeral of her dear friend, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Politico also mentioned that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) has sent his staff members to assist with the move. Critics have criticized McHenry’s decision as petty.
