The 82-year-old Democratic leader’s announcement came ahead of her weekly press appearance on Capitol Hill, which was abruptly called off. The House is set to start a two-week spring recess.
The report pointed out that Pelosi also postponed a planned congressional delegation trip to Asia she was scheduled to lead.
