House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to say whether she would run for another term in leadership if Democrats keep control of the chamber in the midterm election.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the added security measures in and around the Capitol following lasts week's attempted insurrection, won't change the nature of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. WASHINGTON – Pelosi told reporters Wednesday during a press conference.
When another reporter challenged her on the same question, the California Democrat answered,"I said first we're going to win, and that's really the issue." Pelosi, 82, became speaker of the House in 2007, making her the first woman to hold that position. She served in the job until 2011. She then again was elected in 2019, and has continued in the role since.
When Pelosi was asked at a news conference in November 2020 how long she planned to stay as House speaker, she said , "there was a move to put limits on leadership and the chairs of the committees. They said they were going to do it, they didn’t do it. Whether it passes or not, I abide by those limits."It's unclear what those proposed limits were, but if Pelosi runs again, it would be her fifth term."There's probably a lot of wisdom to be gained with age," he said.
