After winning party’s nomination, Pelosi still has work to do to reclaim speaker’s gavel

Another Democrat said Thursday he would vote against Rep. Nancy Pelosi in a decisive tally early next year for House speaker, underscoring that the longtime leader still has work to do to reclaim the gavel.

Pelosi, who previously served as speaker from 2007 to 2011, easily won her party’s nomination Wednesday to serve as speaker in the next Congress. But 35 Democrats either voted against the California congresswoman or left their ballot blank in the secret-ballot vote.
