Nancy Pelosi has been narrowly re-elected speaker of the United States House of Representatives as a new Congress took office amid the surging current global pandemic and a plot by some Republicans to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump.
The House voted 216-209 to reinstate Pelosi on Sunday after Democrats lost 11 seats in the November elections to command a narrower 222-212 majority.
Pelosi, the only woman to have ever served as speaker, has led the House Democrats for 17 years.
