Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Thursday announced she will not run for reelection in 2026, ending a four decade career in the House while she still has her marbles, CNN reports.
“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way, and now we must continue by remaining full participants in our Democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear,” said Pelosi in the video announcing her retirement that had been rumored over the last few days.
