Nancy Pelosi Thinks She’s Going To Be Speaker Of The House
By The Daily Caller. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi thinks she’s going to take Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s job after the mid-term elections this November.
“We will win. I will run for speaker. I feel confident about it. And my members do, too,” Pelosi told The Boston Globe in a Tuesday interview.
“It’s important that it not be five white guys at the table, no offense,” Pelosi said. “I have no intention of walking away from that table.”
If Democrats do retake the House, Pelosi is certain to face resistance from members of her own party who want her to step aside. (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi Thinks She’s Going to Be Speaker of the House” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi Says She’ll Run for Speaker. Some Democrats Are Running the Other Way.
By CNN. . .Though it was long assumed that Pelosi would run for speaker again, the assurance is both a gift and a curse for the party heading into this year’s critical midterm elections. It gives more potency to a message Republicans have long employed: Vote for the Democrat, get Pelosi as speaker.
Her comments will now surely be featured in the countless ads that will run between now and November, laying the California Democrat — and her policies — at the feet of Democrats who hope to unseat vulnerable Republicans in swing districts. In response, some Democrats backed by the national party are already running away from her, pledging to vote against her if they get the chance or waffling on the question altogether.
“Pelosi is the face of a far-left, progressive agenda that would do great harm to our country if ever enacted,” Jesse Hunt, press secretary of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said when asked about how Pelosi’s announcement will loom in the election. “Expect support for her to be among the most contentious debates in Democratic primaries over the next few months.” (Read more from “Nancy Pelosi Says She’ll Run for Speaker.
