CORRECTION: Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will seek re-election, calling into question a plan to turn over party leadership. We will delete a tweet stating it will reverse an earlier vow to do so
The 81-year-old California lawmaker was the first woman to serve as speaker and had been expected to step down, particularly as her party braces for a possible loss of its majority in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
It would not be unprecedented for a speaker to run again for re-election and then announce later a decision not to seek the top leadership post again.
