Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) announced that they would not seek leadership positions in the new Congress, opening the door for a younger generation of Democrats to guide the caucus. Both Pelosi, 82, and Hoyer, 83, said they would continue to represent their districts in Congress. The announcements come after Republicans were projected to win control of the House despite a stronger-than-expected showing by Democrats in the midterms.
