Pelosi to run for House Speaker after Democrats maintain control, says coronavirus relief bill still on the table

Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she would run for reelection as speaker in the next session should, as expected, the Democrats maintain control of the House, CNN reports.

During an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Pelosi gave a strong and immediate answer when asked if she would seek the speakership again.

“Yes I am,” Pelosi said, adding, “Let me also say we have to win the Senate.”

Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House in 2007, regaining the position when Democrats retook the House after the 2018 midterm elections.

Pelosi continues to be bullish on the prospect of passing a coronavirus relief bill, which has been delayed for months due to republican inaction.

“We want to do it as soon as possible. I thought the President did too and that was part of the leverage that each side had that we both wanted an agreement,” she said. “Why would we even be talking to each other if we didn’t believe that we could reach an agreement?  So, again, it could happen this week in the House but that’s up to [republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell] as to whether it would happen in the Senate and go to the President’s desk, which is our hope and prayer.”
