US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will run for a 19th term in office, without saying whether she would seek to remain in her Democratic leadership role.

The 81-year-old California lawmaker was the first woman to serve as speaker and had been expected to step down, particularly as her party braces for a possible loss of its majority in the November 8 midterm elections.

Pelosi’s office declined to answer questions as to whether she would seek the speaker’s gavel again. “The Speaker is not on a shift, she’s on a mission,” a senior aide said. It would not be unprecedented for a speaker to run again for re-election and then announce later a decision not to seek the top leadership post again.
