1. Summary
   In a speech, speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she would not seek another leadership term, though she will remain a representative. Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer and Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, who together with Pelosi were part of the Democrats' leadership trifecta in the House for years, also said they would step down.
   
   New York's Hakeem Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, is widely expected to succeed Pelosi. Hoyer, who once sought Pelosi's position, endorsed Jeffries. Assistant Speaker Katherine M. Clark is expected to run for minority whip, the No. 2 position this Congress when Democrats are in the minority. Fellow House Democrats say they expect Jeffries and Clark to run unchallenged.
   
   Pelosi served as the Democrats' House leader for nearly 20 years. When she was elected speaker in 2018, she faced some resistance from the party's progressives, and promised to limit herself to two more terms. The Democratic Caucus is scheduled to hold leadership elections on Nov. 30.
