Nancy Pelosi, the former House Speaker, has announced her intention to seek reelection for another term in Congress as Democrats aim to regain the majority in 2024. Pelosi, who has represented San Francisco for over 35 years, made the announcement before labor allies in her district. At 83 years old, Pelosi emphasized the need to advance San Francisco values and contribute to the country’s recovery. With Republicans currently in control of the House by a narrow margin of 222-212, Democrats believe they have a chance to recapture the chamber as President Joe Biden runs for reelection. Pelosi’s decision puts an end to speculation about her potential retirement, and she remains a significant figure in the Democratic Party, acting as a leader, pivotal party figure, and influential fundraiser. Pelosi has had a remarkable journey in U.S. politics, from being one of the few women elected to the House in 1987 to becoming the first female speaker in 2007, and then regaining the speaker’s gavel in 2019. Throughout her career, she has led the party through significant legislative achievements and turbulent times, including the passage of the Affordable Care Act, two impeachments of former President Donald Trump, and the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. While Pelosi has taken a step back from the day-to-day political limelight, she remains an active force in politics, raising funds for the House and engaging in key political events. Despite her decision to seek another term, Pelosi has priorities for San Francisco’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic closures. Republicans, who frequently use Pelosi as a symbol of far-left liberalism, have raised significant funds leveraging her image and actions. Last year, Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was the victim of an attack at their San Francisco home during a highly divisive period in American politics. The news of Pelosi’s reelection bid is sure to disappoint other Democrats who had hopes of running for her congressional seat. A trial for the attacker is expected.
