PELOSI IN ‘TRANSITION’?: Nancy Pelosi, in an apparent bid to assuage concerns from younger rank-and-file Democrats, says she could commit to an abbreviated, “transitional” term as speaker if her party wins the House majority next month ... But she has yet to provide details and still says she'd want to stay through 2020, leaving unclear when and if she'd be willing to hand off the gavel. The current House minority leader first floated the idea of a short-term speakership last week. “I see myself as a transitional figure,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told the Los Angeles Times. “I have things to do. Books to write, places to go, grandchildren, first and foremost, to love.”
Pelosi has long made clear she plans to run for speaker again if Democrats reclaim the majority. But many Democratic lawmakers and candidates have distanced themselves from her and current leadership this year, with some saying they'd oppose her for speaker.
