You can't be Speaker if you're not in Congress, if she loses, they elect someone else.
Don't hold your breath on that. She's 'running" against a nobody dude and a YouTuber. She's essentially running unopposed.
She could also retain her seat, but lose Speaker, if the Dems decide she's not working. She has to win her Seat, and then win a ballot within her party in Congress to retain Speaker. Which will probably happen.
If the house flips red, yes. Then she'd most likely be elected for minority whip or minority leader. Pelosi was minority leader when the GOP controlled the house.
She's party leadership. She's probably getting Speaker again, as I have my doubts the GOP can take the house back - but if they do - guaranteed she'd be minority leader again. Her and Hoyer and Clyburn run the DNC in the House.

You are not technically required to be a member of congress to be Speaker, only you must be voted in by those who are. This situation has never happened before though.

But if the house flips red, she could still lose Speaker right?

Ugh, you'd think that at eighty years old, she'd be looking to retire and get out of politics and enjoy the little bit of time she probably has left.
And do what? She's never had a real job, this is her life. Politicians like her intend to die of natural causes in office.
Her life would change too dramatically on all levels for a power hungry vampire like her to walk away from it.

I stand corrected, and learned something new. Thanks pede.
