WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- The thrashing House Democrats took in the midterm election did not keep Nancy Pelosi from winning another term Tuesday as minority leader.
Pelosi, D-Calif., with no opposition, was unanimously re-elected in a closed door caucus, Democratic reprsentatives said. Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, Assistant Leader Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, and Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra of California were also returned to office.
