NANCY'S CHOICE

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2022 (Friday in Manila) that she will not seek a leadership position in the new Congress, ending a historic run as the first woman with the gavel and making way for a new generation to steer the party after Democrats lost control of the House of Representatives to Republicans in the midterm elections. In a spirited speech on the House floor, Pelosi announced that she will step aside after leading Democrats for nearly 20 years and in the aftermath of the brutal attack on her husband, Paul, last month in their San Francisco home — and after having done 'the people’s work.' The California Democrat said, however, that she would remain in Congress as the representative from San Francisco, a position she has held for 35 years, when the new Congress convenes in January. In an interview with reporters after her announcement, Pelosi said she won’t endorse anyone in the race to succeed her. She said the attack on her husband “made me think again about staying.” But in the end, after the election, she decided to step down.
