Rep. Marcia Fudge said she will make a decision on whether to run for speaker sometime after Thanksgiving.

The Ohio Democrat said she has not decided yet whether she would seek the Democratic Caucus’s nomination during leadership elections Nov. 28.

Asked how it would be a real run for speaker if she didn’t, Fudge simply said, “There’s a process.”

Fudge’s comments came as she was headed into Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office.

“The leader just asked to meet with me. I’m going to see her,” Fudge said.
