Will Prop 50 Prompt a Pelosi Exit? California Waits
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expected to make an announcement following Tuesday's special election in California, with many Democratic sources speculating she'll announce her retirement from Congress.
Pelosi, 85, has made a significant impact in Washington since her first election to Congress in 1987. She became the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House, holding the position from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023.
Even after stepping out of a Democratic Party leadership role, Pelosi continued to have a strong influence in the party. She played a key role in President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race through private conversations with him.
She has been a prolific figure in Washington, and her potential retirement is highly anticipated.
Author's summary: Pelosi's announcement is expected after California's special election.
