Nancy Pelosi may face a challenge to her 14-year-old role as the leading Democrat in the US House of Representatives now that Republicans have captured the White House and maintained their grip on Congress.
Representative Tim Ryan, 43, of Ohio, is weighing a run against Pelosi, 76, who is the House minority leader and former speaker of the House, said Ryan's spokesman Michael Zetts. The party vote for minority leader is scheduled for Thursday.
