Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expected to make an announcement following Tuesday's special election in California, with many sources speculating she'll be retiring.
First elected to Congress in 1987, Pelosi, 85, has made a significant impact in Washington, becoming the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House between 2007 and 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023.
After stepping out of a Democratic Party leadership role, Pelosi continued to have a strong influence in the party, including playing a key role in President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race through private conversations.
