The Democratic lawmaker and fierce Trump critic has said she will not seek reelection after her term ends in January 2027
Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has announced that she will not seek reelection after her term in Congress ends on January 3, 2027. The 85-year-old veteran Democrat has long been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.
In a video address to her constituents in San Francisco published on Thursday, Pelosi said that “I will not be seeking reelection to Congress.”
“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” she added.
Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987 and is currently serving her 19th term. In 2007 she became the first-ever female House speaker, assuming the post again in 2019.
After stepping down as speaker in 2023, she retained her seat among rank-and-file representatives, holding no committee positions.
In recent years, Pelosi has emerged as one of Trump’s fiercest detractors. In her second term as speaker, she presided over two impeachments, neither of which succeeded in deposing the Republican firebrand.
