Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says she believes Democrats will take back the House, and her members do too. And when they do, she will run to become Speaker of the House again.
Despite – or, because – she had the most effective and successful leadership of the House of Representatives in (at least) modern U.S. history, Republicans hate her.
“We will win. I will run for speaker. I feel confident about it. And my members do, too,” Pelosi told The Boston Globe on Tuesday.
“It’s important that it not be five white guys at the table, no offense,” Pelosi said, referring to the top two leadership spots in the House and Senate and the presidency. “I have no intention of walking away from that table.”
