"Today, as Californians head to the polls, I am proud to cast my vote for Hillary Clinton and to endorse her candidacy for President of the United States," Pelosi said in a statement. "Throughout her career, Secretary Clinton has demonstrated her commitment to children, to working families and to a brighter future for America. In this campaign, we have seen her vision, her knowledge, her ability, indeed her stamina, to get the job done for the American people."
Pelosi has withheld her endorsement throughout the primary process despite expectations that she would back Clinton, and had praised Sen. Bernie Sanders for his campaign and the excitement he's brought to the process. She reiterated that in her statement Tuesday, and called for his supporters to rally as Democrats in the fall.
"I congratulate and thank Senator Bernie Sanders for the great invigoration he is bringing to the presidential primary, and welcome the political and intellectual participation of his supporters to advance our shared fight for progress for the American people," she said.

I'm surprised, I thought that she was going to wait until after CA voted.
