The Hill<\/a> reported yesterday that “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday evening that that she has “every anticipation” she’ll remain in that position come next year.”<\/p>\n

This announcement comes as many Democrats running for re-election are stating that they will not support her if she runs for speaker again.  <\/p>\n

ABC News<\/a> reported Tuesday:<\/p>\n

“”From what we’re hearing, she’s probably not going to run for speaker again,” Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-NC, told ABC affiliate WWAY in North Carolina. “And if she does, I’m confident she’s going to have opposition, and I look forward to supporting that opposition. We want to have a more moderate type of alternative for leadership, and I’m confident we’re gonna have that alternative. You know, when she had opposition before, I voted for her opposition, not for her. And we’re expecting her to have opposition this time.””<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is going to be a very interesting election. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
