Pelosi Announces She Is Stepping Down From Leadership But Keeping Her House Seat

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Time for some young blood

No matter what title you all, my colleagues, have bestowed on me, speaker, leader, whip, there is no greater official honor for me than to stand on this floor and speak for the people of San Francisco,” Pelosi said, addressing the House chamber in a white suit. “This I will continue to do as a member of the House.”

Pelosi became the first woman to lead a major party in either chamber in 2002, and took the speaker’s gavel following the 2006 midterm elections. Her announcement on Thursday, which came a day after Republicans found they had clinched enough seats to gain control of the chamber in the next Congress, is likely to empower a new generation of leaders, particularly a trio of lawmakers already serving in House leadership.

“With great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” Pelosi said.
