CBS: Pelosi reelected speaker as new Congress prepares to be sworn in
The California Democrat is set to shepherd her party through a new Congress with the slimmest majority in years.
There were some surprising yes votes for Nancy Pelosi today, including all members of the so-called “squad.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said this of her vote to re-elect the Speaker.
.@AOC on vote for Pelosi : “in a time when the Republican Party is attempting an electoral coup and trying to overturn the results of our election, this is not just about being united as a party. It's about being united as people who have basic respect for the rule of law.”
