跟进：伊利诺伊州众议院议长韦尔奇宣布不再连任 26名同党议员联名逼宫后表态
伊利诺伊州众议院议长 Emanuel「Chris」Welch 11月5日晚宣布，他将不再寻求连任议长。此前，26名众议院民主党人（24名现任与2名新当选议员）联名发表声明，表示不再支持他连任。
Welch 在声明中表示：「我是在党团的意愿下任职的。」（I serve at the pleasure of the caucus.）联名议员的不满包括他对 Benton 性骚扰指控的处理方式，以及众议院通过法案需60票的规则等。Welch 已担任议长多年，其去职将开启伊利诺伊州众议院新一轮领导权之争。

Illinois Speaker Welch says he will not seek another term after caucus revolt
Illinois House Speaker Emanuel 'Chris' Welch announced late on November 5 that he will not seek another term as speaker, after 26 House Democrats - 24 sitting members and two members-elect - signed a statement withholding support for his re-election.
'I serve at the pleasure of the caucus,' Welch said in his statement. The signers' grievances included his handling of harassment allegations involving Benton and the House's 60-vote rule for passing bills. Welch's departure opens a new leadership contest in the Illinois House.
