A top member of the Democratic Party is expected to make an announcement about her future in Congress following the midterm election on Tuesday, according to a new report.
NBC News reported that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the former Speaker of the House, will make a decision about her future as a congressional lawmaker after Tuesday's election. Pelosi, 85, has served in Congress since 1987.
Democratic sources told NBC News that Pelosi may not seek re-election next year, according to the report.
Her decision to reconsider her political future after the midterm comes at a time when the Democratic Party is seeking to appear to younger voters.
