Nancy Pelosi To Announce Future Plans After Gop Win In House

Pelosi’s decision to either seek another term as Democratic leader or resign was widely expected. It would come after the party managed to fend off an expected wave of Republicans in the House and Senate, and in the wake of a violent attack on her husband, Paul, late last month by an intruder in their San Francisco home. “The President plans to address her future plans to her colleagues tomorrow. Stay tuned,” Pelosi’s spokesman Drew Hamill tweeted late Wednesday. Pelosi is expected to speak on the House floor, but no time has been given. The hall opens at 10 am. EST, before legislative business begins at noon. The speaker took home two versions of her speech for revision. The speaker has been “overwhelmed with calls from colleagues, friends and supporters,” Hammill said, noting that she had spent Wednesday afternoon tracking election returns in the final states where ballots were still being counted. The California Democrat, who became the nation’s first woman to wield the speaker’s gavel, is a pivotal figure in US politics. By announcing her decision, Pelosi could set off a domino effect on House Democratic leadership ahead of midterm elections next month as Democrats realign for their new role as the minority party in the new Congress. Pelosi’s leadership team, with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Democratic Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina, has long operated as a triumvirate. Hoyer and Clyburn are also making decisions about their futures. All now in their 80s, the three House Democratic leaders faced uneasy colleagues who were willing to step aside and allow a new generation to take charge. Democrats Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Rep. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Rep. Pete Aguilar of California have similarly moved as a trio at times, all working to take leadership roles themselves. First elected to the House in 1987, Pelosi has long been derided by Republicans as a San Francisco liberal while rising steadily as a skilled lawmaker and fundraising force. Her own Democratic colleagues have at times valued and feared Pelosi’s strong leadership.
