[1/3] U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wields the gavel as she presides over the House of Representatives approving two counts of impeachment against U.S. President Donald Trump in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., December 18, 2019. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File PhotoWASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi will announce on Thursday whether she will step down as Democratic leader of the chamber, a day after Republicans were projected to have won control of the House in the midterm elections. Pelosi, an 82-year-old liberal from California who is the first woman to hold the powerful job of speaker, has been under pressure during the past few years from younger House Democrats to yield power. House Democrats are set to vote on their leaders on Nov. 30. She became speaker again in 2019 when Democrats rode a wave of opposition to then-President Donald Trump to win control of the House and was re-elected as speaker in November 2021.

Pelosi, 82, and two other top leaders have been under pressure the last few years from younger House Democrats to yield power after two decades at the helm. Pelosi, the first woman speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said late on Wednesday House Democrats "will continue to play a leading role in supporting President Biden’s agenda - with strong leverage over a scant Republican majority." House Democrats are set to vote on their leaders on Nov. 30. On Wednesday, House Republicans offered initial support for Kevin McCarthy to serve as speaker when the next Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3. McCarthy currently serves as House Republican leader and will face election by the entire House at the start of the new year.
