WASHINGTON- Nancy Pelosi will seek to continue to lead the U.S. House of Representatives as speaker if Democrats keep control of the chamber in the Nov. 3 election, she told CNN in an interview on Sunday.

Asked if she planned to run for another term as U.S. House speaker if her political party keeps its majority, she said, "Yes, I am."
