Pelosi cedes some power to House Dems angry over elections

In a private meeting that participants said grew loud at times, Democrats voted by voice to make the head of their political committee an elected post.

[...] Pelosi, D-Calif., has appointed someone to the job.

Democrats also lost the White House and remained in the Senate minority in an election that has divided the party over whether it needs to do a better job of appealing to white working-class people, who tilted Republican this year, or become more progressive.
