Who will be the next Speaker of the US House of Rep. when Pelosi,Hoyer,and Clyburn retire?

Pelosi,Hoyer, and Clyburn are in their 80’s. They are likely to retire within the next 5 years.

MA-5CD US Rep. Katherine Clark-D who is currently the Assistant Speaker of US House of Representatives becomes Speaker of US Representatives.
NY-8CD US Rep. Hakeem Jeffries-D who is currently the chair of the House Democratic caucus becomes the House Majority Leader.
CA-31CD US Rep. Peter Aguilar-D who is currently the vice chair of the House Democratic caucus becomes the House Majority whip.

if it's EVER Kevin McCarthy!! Dumb as a rock and way less useful.

Love Rep. Jeffries. Don't know the other two - I'll have to check them out.

Pelosi, Hoyer, and Clyburn have all served this country honorably.
