Nancy Pelosi, the first and only female speaker of the US House of Representatives and one of the most powerful figures in Democratic politics for decades, has announced she will not seek reelection.
The San Francisco district didn’t change in the redistricting, and remains one of the few coherent house districts these days. There is a progressive using the mamdani playbook challenging her in the 26 primaries, so maybe she just wants to quit while she’s ahead and keep her undefeated record.
Translation: she believes she wouldn’t win in a newly drawn district.

Ah. Thanks for clarifying.
