Democrats' success Tuesday in retaking the House majority appeared to put Nancy Pelosi of California at the top of a short list for the speakership.
Pelosi has listed top priorities she hoped to tackle with a new Democratic House majority next year, in addition to what Republicans expect to be attempts to roll back last year's GOP tax reform package, block planned new tax cuts for the middle class, and resist more cuts in government spending.
Democrats will have the power to conduct congressional oversight when they take over the House in January, opening the door to a wide range of investigations of President Donald Trump's administration.
While some Democrats such as Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., have argued for the impeachment of the president, Pelosi has resisted the idea.
After the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman killed 17 in February, Pelosi said at a press conference that she would rather pass new gun controls than win the House majority.
Pelosi has said to expect measures from Democrats to lower health care and prescription drug costs, already a much-publicized priority of the Trump administration.
Pelosi has made passing an infrastructure bill a top priority in a Democratic-controlled House.
