Pelosi, the first and only woman to ever wield the speaker’s gavel, received 220 votes out of the 430 votes cast. Fifteen Democrats defected, with twelve casting votes for other people and three voting “present.” As speaker, Pelosi will be the most prominent Democratic foil to President Donald Trump and second in line to the presidency.

Nancy on Bernie.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) defended Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from Democratic critics growing restless with his long-shot presidential campaign.

Pelosi hailed Sanders for energizing young voters, arguing that his appeal will play to the advantage of all Democrats in November.

“Bernie Sanders is a positive force in the Democratic Party,” Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol.

“He has awakened in some people an interest in the political process that wasn’t there. He has encouraged young people to channel their interest in public service and community leadership into a political place, because this is where decisions are made that’ll affect their future and their lives. And I think that’s positive.”

And yet none of that rose to the level of an endorsement.

Nancy Pelosi is one of the biggest fundraisers in Congress. Who are those donors? I'll give you a hint; their donations didn't average $27.

So tell us again why she'll be great for average Americans?
