The number 2 Democrat in the House of Representatives on Nov. 17 announced he will be leaving the leadership shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she would not seek another term as a Democrat leader, while the number 3 Democrat also indicated he will step down.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said in a letter to colleagues that he will not seek a leadership position in the next Congress after Republicans flipped the lower chamber.
