As rumors continued to swirl over x Nancy Pelosi's possible retirement, she is putting to bed those rumors — for now.
She could always announce a resignation in the coming months, depending on which party keeps the House after the midterm elections -- or she could choose to stay if she wins her seat.
The reelection announcement does not mean she will necessarily be running for the speaker's gavel should Democrats keep the House. And if they do retain the majority through the midterms and she stays in office, Democrats will likely be looking for fresh leadership. Last January, the House narrowly reelected Pelosi as speaker with 216 votes, giving the California Democrat a fourth term as its leader.
Pelosi, who is the only woman to ever serve in the leadership role, has previously said she will not run for speaker after 2022.
