Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refused to commit to not seeking another term as speaker if Democrats retain the House next year, despite past promises that this term would be her last as the number one House Democrat.

Asked by a reporter during a Sept. 14 press conference whether she would mount another bid to be speaker next year, Pelosi gave an ambiguous answer.
