Nancy Pelosi says she will seek another term as speaker if Democrats keep control of the House

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that she will run for another term as speaker should Democrats keep control of the lower chamber.

When asked whether she would seek reelection in 2021, Pelosi told CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper, "Yes, I am. But let me also say, we have to win the Senate."

The statement is in line with an agreement Pelosi made when she was elected to the office, which limits her speakership to four years.

That agreement came after the speaker was challenged by several members of the Democratic caucus from more conservative districts who saw Pelosi's position as an impediment to the party's electoral chances.

1. Good. She's proven she deserves it.

[BigmanPigman]

2. Good, I hope Feinstein leaves the Senate though.

[dem4decades]

7. She has 4 years left doesn't she? Though i agree, i think she got spanked for the Lindsey bullshit

[BigmanPigman]

10. Schumer said that he, "spoke with her"

regarding her conduct but didn't elaborate. Yes, she has years left, unfortunately.

[dem4decades]

12. Saw that. It was clear she was made aware of her mistake.

23. Unfortunately, in California, the choice has been between her and a republican.

I’ve ever been enthusiastic in my vote for her. Just retire already! Sheesh!

[Veritas et Ratio]

29. Not in 2018

Thanks to the jungle primary, it was her against Jose de Leon, a fellow Democrat. Feinstein unfortunately won 54.2-45.8. That was the time to get rid of her, but de Leon was pretty much an unknown.

35. Jeez, not another post from you!

Don't you have a life?

3. love Nancy!

[Blue Owl]

4. Just think how much she'll be able to accomplish

without having to waste time babysitting the man-toddler

[LizBeth]

5. More than anyone the last two years, Pelosi has earned it and gets to push stuff thru with

odds on her side.

6. Nancy's boots are made for walking...

So much work to do.

[2naSalit]

8. Good!

We need her as much as we ever have.

[dem4decades]

9. The ones that challenged her are eating crow now.

[applegrove]

11. She's the best.

[regnaD kciN]

13. I'm hoping she uses the next two years to groom a successor...

We’re going to need some younger blood soon enough, and I’d like to avoid a free-for-all when that time comes.

[dem4decades]

14. I don't know if he's in line but i like Hakeem Jefferies.

[crickets]

18. Yes. She needs to stay as Speaker for a while,

but it would be nice if at least one, perhaps several people, get some pointers and preparation for when the time comes to pass the gavel.

[Blaukraut]

15. She has earned it. n/t

[beaglelover]

16. Great news!!

[dalton99a]

17. She deserves another term.

[bottomofthehill]

19. She has been an amazing Speaker.

She has been on the right side of and pushed through so many vital pieces of legislation.

[LiberalFighter]

20. When she does step down after the next session...

it needs to be someone who has the experience and knows the ins and outs. Someone that has been there for 4 to 8 years imo is not going to cut it. It is because of Speaker Pelosi's having spent many years in the House that gave her the knowledge along with her intelligence to be the Speaker.

21. Good!

[lpbk2713]

22. Even if just to piss off the (R)s ...

I love it.

[Lucinda]

24. Good. She has done more for this country than most will ever know...

I am so thankful for her leadership.

26. Me too. People should be thanking their lucky stars, not

Nitpicking and wanting to give her advice. Without her, these past four years would have been even worse, to say nothing of her many achievements pre-Trump.

[Lucinda]

31. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

1000% agree with you!

[Iggo]

25. If?
