NBC: Democrats have begun preparing for the possible departure of Nancy Pelosi from politics.
Democrats have begun preparing for the possible departure of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from politics. This was reported by NBC News.
It is expected that she may announce her decision not to run for re-election in 2026 after the vote on the "Proposition 50" bill, which proposes changes to the boundaries of electoral districts. Pelosi actively supports amendments to the law and may use their potential approval as a symbolic conclusion to her career, according to several Democrats. According to Pelosi's spokesperson Ian Craig, the former speaker is currently fully focused on the campaign for the approval of the "Proposition 50" initiative.
"She will leave on the heels of a major victory — it will be the crowning achievement of her career," said one of the channel's sources.
At the same time, the channel noted that Pelosi has raised over two million dollars for her campaign and has an electoral fund of one and a half million dollars. Additionally, she has yet to take steps to stop two Democrats who have already announced their intention to run for her district. These include state Senator Scott Wiener and former tech entrepreneur Saikat Chakrabarti, who previously served as chief of staff to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
