Pelosi likely speaker again, but might require high-wire act
WASHINGTON – There's little doubt that Nancy Pelosi will be reelected House speaker when the new Congress convenes Sunday. It could take a high-wire act for her to get there, largely thanks to the pandemic. “Yeah, I do,” Pelosi told a reporter this week when asked if she had the votes wrapped up. Miller-Meeks is certain to vote against Pelosi to be speaker. “It’s extraordinarily tricky” for Pelosi, said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., an 18-year congressional veteran.

Alcee Hastings poised to retain Florida’s District 20 Congress
PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – U.S. Representative Alcee Hastings is poised to win his 15th term in Congress representing U.S. House District 20. Hastings, 83, has beat every opponent since first being elected to office in 1992. With 23.9% of precincts reporting, the Democrat, Hastings, has an 80% lead over opponent Greg Musselwhite’s 20%. The investigation was dropped after the committee found out Hastings and Williams married in January 2019. The case dragged on for four years and an award was made of $220,000 of public funds in one of the largest secret settlements paid out by the congressional Office of Compliance.
