    Make no mistake, if she does retire, there will still be a Pelosi on the ballot come 2026. Many of her voters won’t even know she retired.

    Thank god. Didn’t fight hard enough to get the asshole in power completely impeached when the time was right to.

    I’m actually ready to see if the democrats have a spine for a new leader. Schumer should follow her lead too. Time for a new direction.

      She already stepped down as leader in the house. That job was taken up by Jeffries. Who has been entirely useless.

    She’ll be replaced with AOC. All of Pelosi’s videos on cspan when she was younger sounded exactly like AOC does now. Since AOC is now fully committed to defend the status quo she will replace Pelosi in that regard

    “Brace” implies they are completely unprepared and fully expected her to serve 50 more years.

    Edit: yeah called it

    “I wish she would stay for 10 more years,” said one House Democrat from California.

      That House Democrat from California’s name? Nancy Pelosi.

      (In all seriousness, she’s been fairly progressive as far as Dem leadership goes, and would do enough behind the scenes that she would only take a vote when she knows she has the votes. Not a fan of all the insider stock trading by any means. Either way, I wish she had passed the torch years ago along with many others in Washington)
