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 had a significant impact in Washington, becoming the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023.
Through private conversations with then President Joe Biden, she played a key role in his decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
Pelosi continued to have a strong influence in the party even after stepping out of a Democratic Party leadership role.
