Pelosi says she has ‘every anticipation’ of remaining Speaker

The top House Democrat expressed confidence that not only would Democrats retain control of the House, but also that the Democratic caucus would re-elect her as Speaker of the House next year.

“I have every anticipation that we’ll come together in a similar format as we are now, with me as speaker of the House,” Pelosi said on the “Charlie Rose Show,” looking ahead to next year.

The California Democrat’s confidence comes as some Democrats facing tough races in conservative or centrist districts have distanced themselves from Pelosi, with a handful pledging to vote against her as Speaker, and a larger number committing to re-elect her.
