Nancy Pelosi does not intend to run for the US Congress in 2026

Nancy Pelosi, a member of the House of Representatives, has announced that she will not be re-elected to Congress in 2026, ending her 40-year political career. This was reported on November 6 by The Washington Post (WP).

"I will not be re-elected to Congress. With gratitude in my heart, I look forward to my last year as your representative," the 85—year-old Pelosi said in a video message to voters.

The official announced her decision after the success of the initiative on the redistribution of electoral districts, which was put forward by the California Democrats. It is reported that Pelosi supported this initiative, and this victory was the culmination of her efforts for a quarter of a century to turn California into a stronghold of democratic politics.

On November 3, it was reported that the US Democratic Party had begun preparations for Pelosi's departure from politics. It was noted that for the politician, the adoption of this initiative would be a symbolic end to her political career and a kind of "final point" on a long journey to Congress.
