Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) said Thursday he’s now likely to support Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for Speaker, just over a week after he signed a letter designed to block the longtime Democratic leader from taking the gavel next year.

“We’re pretty much there,” Lynch told The Hill Thursday morning in the Capitol. “Some details need to be cleared up, but I think that we’re in a good place. And I think she would agree with that.”

Asked if he’s leaning toward supporting her, Lynch said, “Yeah, I am. That’s fair.”

Lynch was one of the 16 Democrats to sign a Nov. 19 letter designed to demonstrate that Pelosi lacks the 218 votes she needs to win the Speaker’s gavel on the House floor on Jan. 3.
