Nancy Pelosi Announces Retirement After Four Decades In Congress
1 day ago
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will not seek reelection — formally ending a historic career that spanned nearly 40 years in Congress.
Pelosi, who represented San Francisco since 1987, made history as the first woman to serve as speaker and became one of the most influential figures in American politics.
She helped shepherd landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act and more recently took part in California’s Prop 50 redistricting effort as Democrats countered President Trump in this week’s election.
Pelosi stepped down from leadership three years ago, taking the title of Speaker Emerita as a new generation of Democratic leaders takes shape.
