An elated Nancy Pelosi emerged Wednesday from winning a contentious leadership election promising to “put forth a message that does connect with the American people,” and to reach out to the blue-collar voters that Democrats lost in this month’s election.

Pelosi, who won an eighth term leading House Democrats after beating back a formidable challenge from Rep. Tim Ryan, of Ohio, said she was “heartbroken” about Hillary Clinton’s Nov. 8 loss to President-elect Trump.
