House Democrats voted to keep Nancy Pelosi as their leader next year as she fended off assertions that a string of election disappointments means it’s time for a new generation and new type of leadership.
Pelosi, 76, turned back a challenge for her position as minority leader from Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, 43, who has represented the Youngstown area in the House since 2003. Pelosi of California won in a private vote, 134-63, by House Democrats.
