US EditionNancy Pelosi Expected to Announce Retirement After California Prop 50 Vote
Pelosi, 85, may retire after nearly 40 years in Congress amid a push for new leadership and the impact of Prop 50, which could give Democrats five more seats.
- Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, will withhold a decision until after Tuesday's election, and Ian Krager, her spokesman, confirmed an announcement will follow the Prop 50 vote.
- Proposition 50 would let California's 52 districts be redrawn next month, with Democrats hoping to net five seats after the Nov. 4 vote, driven by recent months of advocacy.
- Nearly 40 years in Congress have given Nancy Pelosi outsized legislative and fundraising leverage, as she represented San Francisco and helped pass major laws while keeping a lower profile this year.
- A retirement would likely trigger contests among San Francisco Democrats for the open seat, with Nancy Pelosi possibly influencing her successor and names like Connie Chan and Christine Pelosi floated.
- Generational tensions are reshaping Democratic politics in California and beyond as redistricting and Prop 50 position Democrats for gains that could influence next year's midterms and party leadership.
