Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) announced on Tuesday she will not challenge Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for the role of speaker of the House and is offering her endorsement. Fudge said she was concerned about "voter protection and voter integrity," and Pelosi has assured her that "protections of the Voting Rights Act will be reinstated and improved." Last week, 16 Democrats signed a letter saying they will oppose Pelosi for speaker. So far, no challengers have emerged, with House Democrats set to vote to select a nominee next week.
