House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she will not seek a leadership position in the new Congress.
Earlier, Pelosi had noted in a statement after The Associated Press called control of the chamber that, in the next Congress, House Democrats will have “strong leverage over a scant Republican majority.”Article content
Pelosi’s leadership team, with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland and Democratic Whip James Clyburn of South Carolina, has long moved as a triumvirate. Hoyer and Clyburn are also making decisions about their futures. One idea circulating on Capitol Hill was that Pelosi and the others could emerge as emeritus leaders as they pass the baton to new Democrats.
Pelosi first became speaker in 2007, saying she had cracked the “marble ceiling,” after Democrats swept to power in the 2006 midterm elections in a backlash to then-President George W. Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Typically unsentimental, Pelosi let show a rare moment of emotion on the eve of the midterm elections as she held back tears discussing the grave assault on her husband of nearly 60 years.tap here to see other videos from our teamPaul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull after an intruder broke into their home in the middle the night seeking the Democratic leader.

While a Republican wave never materialized, the GOP are still likely to take control over the House of Representatives. The Democrats held control of the Senate with the possibility of picking up another seat during the Georgia runoff election.
