Representative Nancy Pelosi, the only female House speaker, said she will not run for re-election. She wielded immense power and became a Democratic icon, while she was demonized by conservatives.

At such a young age, no way. I think she can go for another 10-15 years. She needs to learn a thing or two from esteemed leaders like Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer and supreme leader Donald Trump.

Thanks for the direct headline; most of the others are just saying “announces retirement” which implies she’s retiring sometime reasonably soon.

Although I guess 2027 is soon when you’ve been doing something for 37 years….
