The House voted Monday on a new rules package that contains key concessions to the most conservative wing of the party.

Nancy Pelosi, the first and only woman to serve as speaker, says she will step down as leader of the House Democrats next year. Now, a new batch of lawmakers is in the leadership spotlight.

Focusing on the rising costs of groceries and gas, and promising new investigations of President Biden's administration, Republicans won a slim majority in the House in the midterm elections.

The legislation also calls for the removal of a bust of former Chief Justice Roger Taney, author of the infamous Dred Scott decision that declared Black Americans weren't U.S. citizens.

The yes vote comes a day after the Senate unanimously moved to recognize June 19 as a commemoration of the end of chattel slavery in the United States.
