Pelosi's Potential Exit
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expected to make an announcement following Tuesday's special election in California, with many sources speculating she'll be retiring.
First elected to Congress in 1987, Pelosi, 85, has made a significant impact in Washington, becoming the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House between 2007-2011 and again from 2019-2023.
Through private conversations with then President Joe Biden, she played a key role in his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
Pelosi continued to have a strong influence in the party even after stepping out of a Democratic Party leadership role.
