House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she plans to run for reelection, aiming to extend her more than 30-year run in Congress
"I am running for reelection to Congress and respectfully seek your support," Pelosi, a Democrat from California, said in a video message posted on her political Twitter account."I would be greatly honored by it and grateful for it."Pelosi notably did not announce that she will run for speaker in her video announcement. She had promised in 2018 that this term would be her last in the position, but she has not confirmed if that is still her plan.
In addition to retirements, Pelosi continues to grapple with how the slim Democratic majority in Congress is preventing the party from passing key pieces of President Joe Biden's agenda. Although Pelosi was able to finesse the bipartisan infrastructure bill through Congress, Biden's social safety net plan, known as Build Back Better, and key voting rights legislation remains stalled in the Senate due to factions and disagreements within the party about how to proceed.
