<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is retiring from Congress when her term ends in 2027, she announced Thursday.</p>
<p>The 85-year-old San Francisco Democrat has continued to serve in the House after being the first and only woman to serve as House speaker, holding that position during two separate terms: from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023.</p>
<p>“For decades, I’ve cherished the privilege of representing our magnificent city in the United States Congress,” she said in a video focusing primarily on her constituents, opening with “Dear San Francisco.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Thank you, San Francisco. <a href="https://t.co/OP8ubeFzR6">pic.twitter.com/OP8ubeFzR6</a></p>
<p>— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamPelosi/status/1986433397921833435?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 6, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>“I truly loved serving as your voice in Congress,” she said.</p>
<p>“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” Pelosi continued.</p>
<p>Pelosi’s tumultuous relationship with President Donald Trump featured public showdowns, two impeachments, and a starkly polarized political climate.</p>
<p>President Trump reacted to the news on Thursday morning, saying that &#8220;she was evil&#8221; and &#8220;corrupt,&#8221; according to Fox News. &#8220;The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pelosi&#8217;s retirement could open up a wide Democratic primary in the Bay Area to replace her, and she’s held the seat since 1987.</p>

<p>California state Sen. Scott Wiener, a far-Left progressive, already jumped into the race last month, as the seat is likely to stay deep blue.</p>
<p>“My family escaped fascism in Europe. I never thought the United States would slip into fascism like we’re seeing today,” Wiener said in his launch video. “San Francisco has always been on the right side of history.”</p>
<p>“Join me now, before everything we believe in is lost for good,” he added.</p>
<p>In addition, former Chief of Staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Saikat Chakrabarti, is running for the seat.</p>
<p>Pelosi&#8217;s retirement comes amid a likely fierce 2026 battle for the House, as Republicans currently hold a narrow majority in the Senate.</p>
<p>A mix of reactions to her retirement poured in on social media.</p>
<p>“The GOAT &#8211; thanks for your incredible service, Rep. Pelosi, and for modeling true selfless leadership by stepping back and making space for a new generation of leaders,” Amanda Litman, president of Run for Something, posted to X.</p>
<p>“After serving for nearly 200 years, Nancy Pelosi won’t seek reelection,” conservative commentator Jason Rantz wrote.</p>
<p>Pelosi was expected to announce whether she would retire following Tuesday&#8217;s Proposition 50 vote in California, which she campaigned heavily in favor of. The ballot measure to redraw congressional districts in the state to heavily favor Democrats until 2030 passed by a wide margin. Proponents of the measure said it would counteract Republican redistricting efforts in Texas and other red states, and it is currently facing a federal lawsuit from the California Republican Party.</p>
