With the midterms — mostly — behind us, attention has shifted to the intraparty leadership elections on Capitol Hill for the House and Senate.
Here’s a look at the various positions that members of both parties and chambers will be voting on in the coming weeks.
House Democrats
Democrats gain an extra leadership position after taking over the majority. The caucus is expected to hold its elections November 28.
While all eyes will be on the race for speaker and whether any Democrat will step up to challenge Nancy Pelosi, other positions in the House Democratic leadership roster will also see contested races.
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi of California is so far the only Democrat to have announced a bid for speaker. She served as speaker for two terms from 2007 to 2011 when Democrats last controlled the House.
