Democrats find themselves in a familiar position: unable to point to a clear party leader as a sitting president prepares to hand over the reins to Donald Trump.
They faced a similar quandary in January 2017, when Barack Obama was in his final days in office. Back then, some Democrats pointed to their powerful House leader and former speaker, Nancy Pelosi, as the rightful official at the head of their table.
But some eight years later, it is far from clear who will become the party’s new chief around noon on Jan. 20, when Trump is slated to be sworn in and Joe Biden relinquishes his hold on the presidency.
