House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Thursday she will no longer lead the House's Democratic caucus, one day after Republicans clinched the majority following last week’s midterm election. Pelosi made the announcement from the floor of the House on Thursday.
"When I first came to the floor at six years old, never would I have thought that someday I would go from homemaker to House speaker," Pelosi said.Her deputy chief of staff Drew Hammill said Thursday that she was still mulling her decision as of Wednesday night. Democrats will narrowly lose control of the House, although the party outperformed most expectations. Historically, the party in control of the White House performs poorly in midterm elections. Depending on the results of several races yet to be called, Republicans will likely have a single-digit advantage in the House.
