After the Democrats' historic losses Tuesday, Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s future in the party was uncertain.

Pelosi used Twitter to make the announcement Friday, matter-of-factly tweeting: “I am running for Dem leader.” Speculation about her future fueled calls from conservative Democrats for her to step aside to allow present Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer, of Maryland, to be the minority leader.
