Nancy Pelosi to Announce Her Future Political Plans Today

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will reveal her future Congressional career plans to her colleagues on Thursday, her spokesperson said late Wednesday — as some speculate her activist daughter could succeed the towering political figure.

The announcement came hours after Republicans regained control of the House with incumbent Republican Rep. Mike Garcia’s victory over Democrat Christy Smith in California’s 27 Congressional District.

“Speaker Pelosi has been overwhelmed by calls from colleagues, friends and supporters,” Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, said in a Wednesday night tweet.

“This evening, the Speaker monitored returns in the three remaining critical states. The Speaker plans to address her future plans tomorrow to her colleagues. Stay tuned.”

On Sunday, Pelosi said she wouldn’t entertain any questions about what lies ahead until all races were called. Several races are still up in the air, but Republicans reached the 218-seat threshold for the House majority with Garcia’s win.

Rumors have been swirling that the 82-year-old speaker may step aside if Democrats lost control of the chamber — passing the torch to a new generation of Democratic leadership.

Earlier this month, Pelosi said the brutal hammer attack against her husband Paul Pelosi has impacted her decision on whether to retire after the midterms elections.

Should Pelosi let go of her leadership duties, some pundits have speculated that her Democratic activist daughter could inherit the seat in one of America’s wealthiest and most liberal cities, Politico reported.

Christine Pelosi, 56, has never held elected office but has a deep history of political activism.

The former San Francisco prosecutor has served as a surrogate for her mother and often joins her at campaign rallies, Politico noted.

The younger Pelosi also served as a special counsel in the Clinton-Gore administration and was chief of staff to former Rep. John Tierney, her website states.

She is also an elected member on the executive committees of the California Democratic Party, the National Federation of Democratic Women, and the Democratic National Committee.

“The more people you are connected with, absolutely the better you’re served if you’re trying to do something else,” Carolyn Fowler, the current Women’s Caucus chair, told Politico.

“Having those connections, let me call so-and-so and see what they think, that becomes politically important.”

Meanwhile, others say Brooklyn Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is being eyed for the role of minority leader.

Jeffries, 52, who lives in Prospect Heights and represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens, is the chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

The fifth-term congressman is generally well-liked among colleagues, except for the more left-leaning wing of the party, political insiders told The Post.

He would have to beat Rep. Adam Schiff of California — who is also said to be vying for the leadership role.
