Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi refused to say if she will serve out her full term in Congress, not in leadership, during a Thursday press conference.
A reporter asked Pelosi if she would commit to serving her full two-year term for the people of San Francisco, to which she responded by dodging the question: “What is this? Don’t bother me with a question like that. Really. Really, OK? I said what I’m going to do. Those kind of questions are such a waste of my time.” (RELATED: Nancy Pelosi Asks Her Daughter If She’s ‘A B*tch’ In New Documentary)

In late November, Pelosi sent a letter to donors and grassroots supporters saying House Democrats are poised to maintain a majority in 2022 and are preparing for victory despite a number of retirements within the party and bad polling for Democrats. However, the GOP ended up taking back the House.
