WASHINGTON — After months of speculation about her future, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she will not seek to lead House Democrats for another term, but stay in Congress.
The decision came after her party’s narrow loss of the chamber in last week’s midterm election.
Pelosi, of California, is also abiding by a 2018 agreement with fellow Democrats that she would step down from leadership by the end of 2022 to make way for a new generation.
