Washington , November 19,2020: Democrats in the US House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to retain House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her job for another two years.
A full House floor vote for the speakership will take place in January, and Pelosi is poised to remain in the top leadership post for House Democrats, CNN reported.
In 2019, Pelosi had pledged that she would only serve four more years as speaker, meaning the next Congress would be her last.
House Democrats are choosing their leadership team this week following the US elections, in which they have lost at least 10 incumbent seats, failed to pick off any Republicans seeking re-election and now face their slimmest majority since World War II.
In a speech accepting the nomination, Pelosi vowed to work with the Biden administration to tackle a host of issues Democrats had promised on the campaign trail, including expanding access to health care, strengthening environmental protections, reforming police practices and bridging the vast racial disparities in the economy.
