Watch Live: Pelosi to address "future plans" in speech from House floor
CBSN
Washington — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will address her "future plans" in a speech from the House floor on Thursday as Republicans are 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 anticipated announcement about 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, of which Pelosi herself was the target, 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 on Wednesday.
