→Dump Pelosi movement
Some members in the coup plot were willing to vote for Pelosi if she would agree to a "Leave by" date. Others who vowed on the campaign trail not to vote for Pelosi as Speaker were given an option: they could vote against Pelosi in the closed door caucus meeting, "Present" on the floor vote (thus keeping their promise to voters) and keep their committee assignments as well. During the rebellion [[President Trump]] said he could guarantee enough Republican votes to save Pelosi.<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/trump-casts-pelosis-speaker-savior</ref> Pelosi's biographer made it clear that if the [[coup]] plotters against Pelosi failed, "life would become uncomfortable."<ref>Listen to Why Nancy Pelosi Won't Back Down by CQ Roll Call Podcast #np on #SoundCloud

With 232 seats in the bag, Pelosi could only afford to lose 16 votes. 17 members publicly joined the NeverPelosi movement.
Typically Speaker races are strictly internal affairs. With Pelosi's election on the ropes, outside liberal groups moved in. [[Move on.org]], [[NARAL Pro-Choice America]], [[League of Conservation Voters]], [[People for the American Way]], [[Protect Our Care]], [[Service Employees International Union]], [[End Citizens United]], [[Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence]], [[United Farm Workers]], [[Communications Workers of America]] [[American Federation of Government Employees]], [[United Auto Workers]], [[National Association of Letter Carriers,]] and [[Tax March]]. The groups essentially threatened to withhold donations to NeverPelosi Democrats.
