For the past two days, House Democrats have done something they haven’t done in two decades: vote on a full slate of new caucus leaders.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who stepped down from her leadership post along with Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Majority Whip James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.), praised her caucus’s relatively smooth transition of power.
“It reflects, again, not only the diversity but the vibrancy of our caucus,” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. New leadership, she said, “always bring fresh ideas, entrepreneurial thinking, a different take on the vision and their path to achieving that vision will invigorate the caucus again.
