House Democrats have delayed their caucus leadership elections which were slated for Thursday. The current Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), agreed to the delay at a closed-door conference meeting. Initially it appeared the House Democrats would decide on Thursday whether to go forward with their elections that day but decided today to simply delay the election.
Some House Democrats had been pressing for a delay in Thursday’s vote, something that could conceivably give more time for an opponent of Pelosi’s to mount a challenge.
The election will now be held on November 30.
