Maryland Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer is returning to his old post of House majority leader next year after the Democratic Caucus on Wednesday elected him to the post by acclamation.
Hoyer, Democrats longtime No. 2 leader and current minority leader, last held the majority leader title when Democrats were last in the majority from 2007 through 2010.
While he was running unopposed Wednesday, Hoyer quickly gathered enough support to head of any potential challengers, releasing a letter shortly a week after the Nov. 6 election with 155 Democrats, two-thirds of the caucus, announcing their support for him as majority leader.
On the eve of the caucus vote Tuesday, Hoyer released an updated letter with 184 signatures, more than three-fourths of the caucus.
