Nancy Pelosi announces retirement from Congress after nearly four decades of historic service and legislative achievements
– Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek reelection in 2024 after nearly 40 years in Congress.
– Known for being the first female Speaker, she led key legislation and opposed Donald Trump during her tenure.
In a social media video, Pelosi expressed gratitude for her role representing San Francisco. She says with a grateful heart, she looks forward to her final year in service.
Pelosi was elected House minority leader in 2002, becoming the most powerful woman in congressional history. In 2007, she became the first woman to serve as Speaker after her party gained majority control. Pelosi held the position until 2011 and returned as Speaker in 2019 when Democrats regained the House.
Following the Republicans’ return to power in 2022, she stepped down as the party leader but remained active in Congress.
California Governor Gavin Newsom praised Pelosi’s impact, stating she has inspired generations through her dedication to public service.
Trump reacted to her announcement, describing it as beneficial for America, accusing her of being corrupt and ineffective. Under her leadership, major legislation like the Affordable Care Act passed in the House. Pelosi often clashed with Trump during her tenure, famously confronting him in a 2019 White House meeting.
She oversaw Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, which resulted in his acquittal in the Senate.
Despite her retirement announcement, Pelosi remains a critical voice against Trump.
Legacy Acknowledged
Pelosi’s career is marked by significant achievements and controversies.
Her influence on healthcare and governance will shape discussions for years.
