"We have a little more time to go," the House speaker said on "This Week."

"Right now I'm not making any comments until this election is finished, and we have a little more time to go," she said of her future role in House leadership. "I wish it [the counting] was faster."As of Sunday, ABC News estimates that Democrats will win 206 seats in the House to 211 for the Republicans. Eighteen seats have not been projected. Democrats would need to win 12 for the majority.

In 2018, in order to win the necessary votes to become speaker for a second time, Pelosi said she would limit her speakership for two terms, with her second term finishing this January. She has not said recently whether she will abide by that pledge.

Looking forward to 2024, Stephanopoulos asked Pelosi, "Do you think President [Joe] Biden should run again?"


"Yes, I do. ... He has accomplished so much: over 10 million jobs under his leadership, working with the private sector, of course. He has just done so many things that are so great," she said, adding: "He put money in people's pockets, vaccines in their arms, children back to school, people back to work."............

1. Please don't go, Nancy!

Seeing the recent behind-the-scenes video of her on Jan. 6, she has not lost any of her sharpness or assertiveness. I didn't realize she was 82 though--even more impressive.

I can't think of who would have her blend of diplomacy and arm-twisting that could step into her shoes. Maybe Jamie Raskin? Adam Schiff is totally awesome, but I don't think he would be right for this role.
