Democratic Leadership in House resigns

These include the top three positions: Speaker, House Majority Leader, and the House Whip.

From Axios: Pelosi stepping down as House Democratic leader after 20 years.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the iconic San Francisco liberal who has led congressional Democrats for two decades and broke the glass ceiling as the first woman to control the House of Representatives, said on Thursday she'll step aside as leader at the end of the 117th Congress.

. . . Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), 52, is seen by many colleagues as Pelosi's natural successor, Axios reported Wednesday evening.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), 83, and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), 82, said in statements they will follow Pelosi's lead and step away from their leadership roles while remaining in Congress.

They are expected to be succeeded by Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), 59, and Caucus Vice Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.), 43, respectively.
