BREAKING NEWS: USA’S House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pictured, has announced that she’ll leave her role as House Democratic leader after losing the chamber in the midterm elections.
The widely anticipated decision comes after the Democrats managed to fend off the prospect of a red wave in the House and Senate and after an attacker assaulted her husband Paul Pelosi in their home in San Francisco last month. Still, Republicans will hold a narrow majority in the coming Congress.
“The Capitol is a temple of our democracy, of our constitution and our highest ideals,” Ms Pelosi said in a speech on the House floor on Thursday.
