Speaker Nancy Pelosi will address political future after Democrats lose House majority to Republicans

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is "overwhelmed" by the reactions she has received from her colleagues since it was announced that Democrats will lose the majority in the House of Representatives to Republicans, her spokesperson said.

"Speaker Pelosi has been overwhelmed by calls from colleagues, friends and supporters," said Deputy Chief of Staff Drew Hammill, hours after the 218th race was called for Republicans.

With Republicans winning a majority in the House, they now have an opportunity to elect their own leaders, including the Speakership, and will have full control over dictating the legislative agenda for two years.

The GOP will also be able to launch various investigations, which could potentially include looking into Hunter Biden, the Jan. 6 Committee and aspects of the Biden administration.
