Representative Seth Moulton, Democrat of Massachusetts, said the defeat was frustrating and urged a shake-up at the top of the party.

Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who tried to unseat Ms. Pelosi as House minority leader late last fall, said she remained a political millstone for Democrats. But Mr. Ryan said the Democratic brand had also become toxic in much of the country because voters saw Democrats as not being able to connect with the issues they care about.
Our brand is worse than Trump, he said.
