Nancy Pelosi announces retirement after decades in US Congress

Nancy Pelosi has announced her retirement from Congress, bringing an end to a decades-long career that saw the California Democrat become one of the most powerful figures in Washington.

In a video message on Thursday, Pelosi said she will not be seeking re-election to Congress at the end of her term in January 2027.

It marks the end of a storied political career: Pelosi, 85, served as the first female Speaker of the House and led her party in the lower chamber of Congress from 2003 until 2023.

“As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power,” Pelosi said.

“We have made history, we have made progress. We have always led the way, and now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy, and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
