Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) has endorsed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in her bid for House speaker, the Washington Post reports.

Why it matters: Some House Democrats have encouraged Fudge to challenge Nancy Pelosi, and Fudge had said she was weighing throwing her name in the running. Meanwhile, 16 current and incoming House Democrats have signed a letter saying they'd refuse to vote for Pelosi in an effort to foster change in the party.
