| | Lott then became the Senate Minority leader and was on the cusp of retaking the majority control position before his remarks at Senator Thurmond's party. | | | Incoming House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) said that Lott's stepping down was an "important step" but that Republicans still needed to do more to address the issue of race, according to the Associated Press. | | | "In the interest of pursuing the best possible agenda for the future of our country, I will not seek to remain as majority leader of the United States Senate for the 108th Congress, effective Jan. 6, 2003," Lott said in a written statement. |
