Moments from Nancy Pelosi's four-decade career in politics

Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, will not run for re-election to Congress in 2026. She's been at the forefront in battling for control of the House and especially taking on Republican Donald Trump, who feuded with her in his first presidential term from 2017-2020. Pelosi's retirement follows years of younger Democrats chafing at elders hanging onto their positions of power and not doing enough to cultivate future leaders. Nowhere was that more on display than the summer of 2024 when an 81-year-old Democratic President Joe Biden limped through his debate with Trump, weeks before dropping out of the race in part due to pressure from fellow Democrats, including Pelosi. #pelosi #politics #unitedstates #trump #democrats Read the story here: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/nancy-pelosi-first-woman-serve-us-house-speaker-retire-congress-2025-11-06/ 👉 Subscribe: http://smarturl.it/reuterssubscribe Keep up with the latest news from around the world: https://www.reuters.com/ Follow Reuters on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reuters Follow Reuters on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reuters/?hl=en
