Pelosi to address "future plans" after Republicans win House control
CBSN
Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to address her "future plans" on Thursday after Republicans were projected to win narrow control of the House, bringing an end to her four-year hold on the speaker's gavel and relegating Democrats to the minority.
The announcement on whether Pelosi will seek another term in House Democratic leadership or clear the way for a new generation of lawmakers to run the caucus will put to end months of speculation about her political future. It also follows the violent attack on her husband Paul Pelosi at their San Francisco home last month, which the speaker told CNN would influence whether she would step aside.
"[Pelosi] has been overwhelmed by calls from colleagues, friends and supporters. This evening, the Speaker monitored returns in the three remaining critical states. The Speaker plans to address her future plans tomorrow to her colleagues. Stay tuned," Drew Hammill, Pelosi's spokesman, said on Twitter.
