Nancy Pelosi Elected US House Speaker, Makes History As Only Woman To Ever Hold The Post
US toughest female democratic lawmaker Nancy Pelosi was elected speaker of the House on Thursday for the second time in her political career, a striking comeback for the only woman ever to hold the post.
The convening of the new Congress ushers in an era of divided government in Washington, with Pelosi and her Democrats eager to confront Republican President Donald Trump and help their party mount a successful challenge for the White House in 2020.
