This COULD be looking for a bit of a fight?…..
Pelosi HAS done a skilful job in opposiing Donald Trump for 4 years….
But there ARE a lot of House Democrats that are pissed about the smaller numbers House ‘gets’ this time….
And the 80 year old Pelosi did hint about stepping down….
The Speaker will have Joe Biden ‘s support, but will have to work with Biden , who WILL try to work with the Republicans if they maintain their lead in the Senate…Pelosi has a list of already passed bills that will need Biden’s help to get passed…
Things will be easier in Congress with Trump gone….
Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants another two-year term running the House, cementing her role — for now — as the most powerful woman in Washington.
The 80-year-old Pelosi is coming off a disappointing Election Day, where her party lost at least five seats so far in the House, but the California Democrat intends to stay in the speaker’s chair during the 117th Congress, according to letters sent to her colleagues on Friday morning. Pelosi has served as the Democratic leader since 2002, and the vast majority of her colleagues have never known anyone else running their caucus.

“In that spirit, I am wring to request your support to be re-elected as Speaker. I do so with utmost respect for the diverse viewpoints in our Democratic Caucus, the gravity of this role the urgency of the challenges ahead. I also do so with the great joy and appreciation to so many of you who have already offered your support.”
Pelosi also pledged to work closely with “President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris,” who are now leading the race for the White House…..
