Dems Elect Pelosi Minority Leader
---------------------------------



Back in Washington, House Democrats have elected House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi as minority leader in the next Congress. Pelosi won by a vote of
150 to 43 after facing calls to step aside in the wake of the Democrats’
midterm losses. Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) will fill a new position of
assistant leader under minority whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD).
