Nancy Pelosi announces she will not seek reelection to Congress after nearly 40 years in Washington

  • On Thursday, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek reelection to the U.S. House, saying `I will not be seeking reelection to Congress` and will step down in January, 2027.
  • Personal and political forces pushed Pelosi to decide, including this month's election, Proposition 50, a generational shift ahead of next year, and Paul Pelosi's ongoing recovery from his 2022 attack.
  • Pelosi's tenure included leading the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Dodd‑Frank, and two impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, shaping Democratic policy for nearly four decades.
  • The race to replace Pelosi is already on, with Scott Wiener, California state senator, and Saikat Chakrabarti, progressive political operative, running or considering campaigns, triggering a succession battle in San Francisco and questions about her Capitol Hill leadership role.
  • Looking ahead to next year, Pelosi's retirement marks the end of an extraordinary era and will reshape Democratic leadership after she led the Jan. 6 special committee and produced its 1,000‑page report.
