California Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi won the election Thursday and will retain her position as the speaker of the House.
Pelosi served as the House’s speaker from 2007 until 2011 — the only woman to ever hold that position. Her return to the speakership position makes her only the seventh individual to do so on non-consecutive terms.
