Tim Ryan challenges Pelosi for House leadership
Tim Ryan of Ohio challenges Nancy Pelosi for the House Democratic leadership. In a letter to colleagues he faults current leadership as failing since 1929 and argues new direction is needed, while Pelosi cites two thirds caucus support and past victories to justify her continued role. California lawmakers largely back Pelosi and a group of 50 female members urge her to run again.
