Summary

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she won’t run for the leadership post, a position she’s held for 20 years. Pelosi, the first and only woman to serve as speaker, said she would continue to serve in the House but is giving the next generation the opportunity to lead the House Democrats. Rep. Anna Eshoo is a close friend of Pelosi’s and is godmother to two of her grandchildren. She tells Anderson Cooper what she thinks the next two years will look like without Speaker Pelosi leading the caucus. Plus, investigators are still looking for answers surrounding the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students. Two of the four victims were last seen alive at a late-night food truck in Moscow, Idaho. CNN Correspondent Veronica Miracle joins AC360 to give an update on the investigation.
