Incumbent U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was re-elected to represent Democrats in the 170th House of Representatives for a second term Wednesday morning; however, for Pelosi to renew her position requires that, in the first instance, the incoming Congress also be sworn in, which will occur a few days before President-elect Joe Biden also completes the transition of the U.S. presidency.
If so, Pelosi will be in charge of promoting the laws required by the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden as long as he remains in office, at least for two more years.
"Congratulations to @SpeakerPelosi, elected once again by House Democrats to be that fearless leader and be the nominee for Speaker of the House for the 117th Congress," tweeted the House Democratic Reps. account along with the hashtags #DownWithNDP ?we support Nancy D'Alessandro Pelosi? and #ForThePeople.
Pelosi assumed that office on January 3, 2019 following the 2018 midterm elections where Democrats won the House majority.
On November 6, he appeared before the press to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden's victory very early. He said the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket "will bring people together because all points of view are respected.
In addition to Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, retaining his position as House Majority Leader-elect in 2019, also has been representing Maryland's 5th congressional district since January 5, 1981; along with James E. Clyburn, the third ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives, and currently chairman of the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis.
