Speaker of the US House of Representatives Pelosi will speak about the most important thing today
Budrigannews.com – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi was expected to announce whether she will retire from Congress or seek another term as party leader after Republicans were expected to control the House majority in last week’s election.
Pelosi, 82, and two other senior leaders have been under pressure in recent years from young House Democrats to win power after two decades at the helm.
He planned to address his future plans to his colleagues tomorrow. Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff Drew Hamill said in a Twitter post Wednesday night.
His decision may have to do with whether House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, 82, and Democratic Whip James Clyburn, 83, seek the top Democratic spots in the new Congress convened in May. 3.
Pelosi, the first female speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said Thursday night that Democrats “will continue to play a leading role in supporting President Biden’s agenda with strong leverage over a small Republican majority.””
She did not give details about her upcoming role, but recently pointed to a violent assault on her husband Paul by an intruder in a San Francisco house and other factors that influenced her decision.
Pelosi is “overwhelmed by calls from colleagues, friends and supporters,” Hammill wrote.
President Joe Biden has also expressed support for her.
Pelosi was first elected to the House in 1987 and ranked steadily, securing a leadership position before winning her first term as speaker in 2007.
Along with Biden, who will turn 80 this weekend, senior Democratic leaders are raising questions about the next generation, even if Americans are living longer.
Pelosi was in the House of Representatives for 1-2 years until Kamala Harris became vice president in 2021, when Democrats controlled the House against the Iraq War from 2007 to 2011.
When Democrats rode a wave of opposition to then-President Donald Trump to gain control of the House of Representatives, she took the gavel again in 2019 and was re-elected in 2021-2011.
Democrats will vote for their leader on May 11. 1. 30.
On Wednesday, House Republicans proposed being the first to endorse Kevin McCarthy for president when the next Congress is sworn in 5-1. 3.
McCarthy currently serves as the leader of the House Republican Party and will face a House-wide election earlier this year. It was not yet clear whether he would get enough support from his fellow Republicans to win the House of Representatives.
