Pelosi to Run for Minority Leader
---------------------------------



In political news, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced she will run
for minority leader despite the Democratic Party’s defeat on Election
Day. Pelosi’s decision has sparked a battle over who will be her second
in command. The current majority leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland and
majority whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina are both vying to become
minority whip, the second highest ranking spot after minority leader.
