Current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi officially announced her run for the same position Friday; asking for support from her Democratic colleagues despite a lackluster performance in the 2020 General Election.

“In that spirit, I am writing to request your support to be re-elected as Speaker. I do so with the 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,” she added.
