From House Democrats nominate Pelosi as speaker to lead into Biden era
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHouse Democrats nominate Nancy Pelosi as the speaker to lead them into Joe Biden’s presidency, but she’ll be guiding a smaller and ideologically divided majority as she tries shepherding his agenda toward enactment.
Democrats used a voice vote to make Pelosi their choice to serve two more years in her post. Scattered around the country, it was the party’s first virtual leadership election, a response to the coronavirus pandemic. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and No. 3 party leader Jim Clyburn are also on track to retain their positions.
“Let us all be advocates for unity in the Democratic party, where our values are opportunity and community,” Pelosi, the first female speaker, wrote to Democrats this week.
