House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said during an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell that she hoped Hillary Clinton – who will retire soon from her job as secretary of state – would make another bid for the presidency in four years.

Filmmaker Martin Scorsese is making a documentary on Bill Clinton for HBO. HBO announced Monday that Scorsese is producing and directing the film, with Clinton's cooperation.

The battle for the House was pretty even in 2012, with Democrats winning slightly more of the popular vote but Republicans holding a strong 33-seat majority thanks to a map that favors their party. And it will be very difficult for Democrats to win back the majority in 2014, because the president's party has rarely gained House seats in a midterm election.
