Top-level members of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team celebrated Democrats choosing to keep Nancy Pelosi as House minority leader, a decision that came after bruising losses for the party in this year's general election.

Pelosi, who has been in Congress for 30 years and led House Democrats for the past 14, faced a challenge from Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, who said the party needed new leadership after Hillary Clinton's shocking loss to Trump in the general election. The House and Senate are also controlled by Republicans.

Some top Republicans seemed happy with the continuation of the status quo for Democrats.

"What a relief," top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who was his campaign manager, tweeted Wednesday. "I was worried they had learned from the elections & might be competitive and cohesive again."

Totally agree about Tim Ryan - who is also from blue collar Ohio, exactly the area that Trump was able to flip from Democrat to Republican. Tim Ryan would have been the kind of middle america democrat that might have been able to flip Pennsylvania/Ohio/Michigan back. But the truth is, the leftist coastal elite democrats that run the party probably look down on Ryan almost as much as they do Trump.

Status Quo, baby. Don’t change a thing. Stick with what’s working so well for you.
