WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won the gavel
again Sunday as the House elected her to guide members through the start of a post-Trump Washington, marking the beginning of what is expected to be the last term of the trailblazer’s historic career at the U.S. Capitol. It is my great honor to preside over this sacred ritual of renewal as we gather under the dome of this temple of democracy to begin the 117th Congress, Pelosi said after being reelected and handed the gavel. I thank my Democratic colleagues in the Congress for the confidence you have placed in me by electing me speaker, and will endeavor to meet the moment with courage, unity and grace.
