Nancy Pelosi will no longer lead the US Democratic Party in the House of Representatives.
After two decades at the helm of the Democratic Party, it’s over: Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, 82, will no longer stand for re-election as House caucus chair. The 82-year-old made the announcement during a parliamentary session in Washington on Thursday. “For me, it’s time for a new generation to lead the Democratic Party that I respect so much,” he said.
The US Democratic Party lost its majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. Now you need to appoint a new section leader. Pelosi will be an MP. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, Pelosi previously ranked third in the state ranking behind the President of the United States and his Vice President. The Democrat from California is considered a prominent liberal figure in American politics. In 2007, she became the first woman in the country to hold the post of President of the Chamber for the first time.
A brutal attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, recently overshadowed the US election campaign. Days before the so-called midterms, an assailant entered the couple’s home in San Francisco. The attack was targeted at Pelosi, who was not at home at the time. (SDA)
