Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been leading Democrats in the House of Representatives for almost 20 years, but her political future is once again the subject of speculation as her party looks set for major midterm defeats.
Pelosi previously said she would not remain in the leadership beyond 2022, yet has made no formal announcement that she will not seek to continue following this year’s midterm elections.
CNN reported in December that Pelosi had not ruled out staying in the top job after the midterms, citing sources familiar with her thinking, and her announcement in January that she’s seeking re-election in her district has added to the debate about her plans. . .
A Morning Consult poll conducted in February found that 60 percent of registered voters surveyed believed Pelosi should step aside from the Democratic leadership. Another 24 percent said she should remain and 16 percent did not know or had no opinion.
