Nancy Pelosi to run for 18th full House term

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California announced Tuesday she'd run for her 18th full term in Congress, saying there's more work to do "for the children" on healthcare, climate change, gun violence and the economy.

"Our Democracy is at risk because of assaults on the truth, the assault on the US capitol and the state-by-state assault on voting rights. This election is crucial. Nothing less is at stake than our Democracy," Pelosi said. 

"But as we say, we don't agonize, we organize. And that is why I am running for re-election to Congress."
