Welcome to the jungle: Nancy Pelosi retirement sets off race to fill Democratic titan’s shoes
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) retirement will open up her San Francisco-based House seat for the first time in decades, with eyes already turning to state Democrats to see who will jump into the jungle primary to replace the political powerhouse.
The daughter of a politician, she didn’t expect to become one. But once she ran for office in 1987, there was no stopping her.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced today she will not seek re-election. MSNBC host Ali Vitali spoke with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about the retirement announcement, where he called her an "iconic" and "legendary" leader.
Rob Bonta told POLITICO he will support Wiener, a prominent state lawmaker vying to represent San Francisco in the House.
As Ms. Pelosi announced her retirement, she was celebrated for her long tenure in Washington. But back home, she was remembered for showing up at a terrifying moment when others turned away.
