Context:``` <response>: Secondly, Democrats don always promote dia minority floor leader to become Speaker wen dem win back majority. Republicans no always dey follow dis leadership succession pattern. For 1919, Republicans sidestep James R. Mann wey be minority leader for eight years, and dem elect Frederick Gillett to be Speaker.

Michel bin dey Minority Leader for 1994 when Republicans take control of the House for 1994 midterm elections, e don already announce say e dey retire and e no get much involvement for the campaign, including the Contract with America wey dem unveil six weeks before voting day.
