| Description | House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will remain atop the Democratic caucus for at least two more years, her office announced Wednesday.
Pelosi will remain the most vocal liberal voice in Congress opposing the Republican agenda, despite a second straight election in which her party failed to win back the majority.
Democrats say she feels compelled to remain in leadership because the issues Congress is set to tackle are at the core of why she first ran for office.
Pelosi, 72, revealed her decision in a 9 a.m. meeting with House Democrats, surrounded by nearly 40 members of her party who were victorious in elections last week.
“The message is clear from the American people. They want us to work together to get things done. And that’s what these folks are here to do. Just like all of you,” Pelosi said, according to the notes taken a Democrat in the room. “We may not have the gavel, but as I can see in this room, we have the unity.” |
