Nancy Pelosi to retire, ending historic tenure in the US House
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has announced she will not seek reelection to the U.S. House of Representatives, closing a historic chapter in American politics marked by her role as the first woman to serve as House speaker and one of the most influential figures in modern government. Representing San Francisco for nearly four decades, Pelosi made the announcement Thursday in a video address to constituents, emphasizing her commitment to finish out her final term and encouraging voters to remain engaged in democracy.
Pelosi’s career is defined by landmark legislative achievements, including her leadership on the Affordable Care Act, Dodd-Frank financial reforms, and repealing the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. She also played a pivotal role as a check on former President Donald Trump, guiding the House through two impeachments and establishing the Jan. 6 special committee. Known for her strategic political acumen, Pelosi helped rebuild the Democratic Party’s strength, including recruiting dozens of women to Congress in 2018 and influencing California’s redistricting efforts. As Pelosi steps away, her departure opens the door for a new generation of Democratic leaders, with potential primary challengers already preparing campaigns in her San Francisco district. Her legacy remains as a trailblazer for women in politics, a deft legislative strategist, and a central figure in shaping U.S. policy and party dynamics for decades.
