Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch plans to meet with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Wednesday to discuss his current opposition to her speaker bid, signalling that his vote is up for grabs.

Lynch, who joined with a group of rebel Democrats vowing to buck Pelosi on the House floor, said Wednesday that he “could be persuaded” to back the longtime Democratic leader in her quest to reclaim the speaker’s gavel.
