House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) arrived at the Capitol as the House waits for her to announce her political future.
Pelosi will reveal at 12 p.m. if she plans to remain in House leadership, a major point of interest for both parties amid a slim Republican majority. She said in 2018 that she would only serve four more years as head of the House Democratic caucus.
