House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Sunday was re-elected to her leadership position despite a shrinking Democratic majority in the House. With Democrats holding a smaller majority than the prior Congress, Pelosi could only afford to have a small handful of lawmakers peel off and opt to write-in someone else. The final count was 216 to 209, with just two Democrats — Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Conor Lamb, D-Pa. — choosing someone other than Pelosi and three others voting present. |
