House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that her congressional colleagues are encouraging her to run for another term as Democratic leader.

said Sunday her congressional colleagues are encouraging her to run for another term as Democratic leader.The comment is the starkest indication yet that Pelosi is mulling another run for the position she's held variably as speaker and minority leader for nearly two decades.In a CNN "State of the Union" interview, Pelosi said "of course" she will make a decision about reelection before the Democrats' leadership elections on Nov. 30.

"People are campaigning, and that's a beautiful thing, and I'm not asking anyone for anything," Pelosi said, "My members are asking me to consider doing that."Whether Democrats keep the majority in the House is expected to have a significant impact on Pelosi's decision-making."The Speaker will make an announcement when she makes an announcement," Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill said in a statement.

Asked on Sunday whether McCarthy has what it takes to be speaker, Pelosi said, "No, I don't think he has it."Roughly 20 House races remain uncalled by the Associated Press as of Sunday. Neither party has reached the 218 seats needed to take the majority. Democrats would have to win three quarters of those seats to keep the House – a long-shot, but not out of the question.

"They've been measuring for draperies. They've been putting forth an agenda. They haven't won it yet," Pelosi said Sunday.McCarthy has been working to shore up the votes from his members to become speaker in what will likely be a razor thin majority, but right-wing members of his conference are

Nope, she is 82. Time to retire. You can call me an ageist all you want. I am also a realist.

equivalent to when republicans tell them god said to run

Do we not have younger people in the USA who would like to have a chance before they die to run the country? Geez...

Crazy Nancy

Can we not do this please

Please no

No

Well she should; she's competent.

Encouraging her? The most accomplished Speaker of the House ever? There's NO ONE more qualified. runnancyrun NancyPelosi

My god with her and Schumer you just had a incredible midterm bring in some fresh blood Democrats to keep the younger voters engaged!

Not again!!!

She will drive hard bargains with McCarthy who will need some DEM votes to pass stuff. Nobody is better as Speaker and nobody is better as Minority Leader.

Stalin used to use the same tactic…Comrades are asking me to lead the party, its not me😂😂😂

N O

She'll win too, but I do grow tiresome of these old ass politicians.

Lol, this is ridiculous.

Whatever SHE chooses to do is what will be. If she decides to run again we’d be thrilled. If she doesn’t and RepJeffries takes over we’d be excited as hell also! 🇺🇸💙

She's lying.

Old white women, who can‘t let go. It‘s a curse! oldwhitewomen

Yeah why not another facelift and hair dye?

Time will run against her.

Nah. No disrespect, as you’ve been an absolute badass. But I say if youth brought the vote, then youth should hold the gavel. AOC you’re up.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nothing to lose since I'm sure she'll win. Unless she promised her family she'd go home right away. They could use her strategic acumen in the brawl to lure non-Trumpist GOPers away from their caucus.

Yeah 🙏🙌🙌 Just Do it Nancy 🙌🙌

Given the attack on Paul she needs to run again to show “NO FEAR” and to demonstrate that it failed. She can retire in June 23!

Dear god.

🤮

Paul just wants her out of thr house

She’s lying

No no no, time to move over Nancy let a new generation take charge, Gen Z saved the Dem's bacon pretty much, they probably would like to see an organic change in the party starting with a fresh face, I don't buy this nonsense that only Nancy can hold the HR Dems together.

Hell yes!

Waste

Please no
