Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to step aside after nearly four decades in Congress kicks off a wide-open contest to replace her at a time when her home city of San Francisco is roiled in debate about what its future should look like.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) retirement will open up her San Francisco-based House seat for the first time in decades, with eyes already turning to state Democrats to see who will jump into the jungle primary to replace the political powerhouse.

As Ms. Pelosi announced her retirement, she was celebrated for her long tenure in Washington. But back home, she was remembered for showing up at a terrifying moment when others turned away.

During her most recent appearance on CNN’s “The Situation Room” on Thursday, host Wolf Blitzer asked Greene for her thoughts on Pelosi, who is 85 and retiring after roughly 40 years in Congress.

There's buzz former Speaker Pelosi is preparing to announce that she won't seek reelection -- though sources stress the fuss is just speculation until she announces.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday said there was still the prospect for a deal on further COVID-19 relief despite resistance from Senate Republicans, adding that she was optimistic an agreement would be reached even as it was unclear whether it could pass before the election.

Asked about Pelosi, the first woman to serve as speaker of the House, hours after she said she would not run for reelection, Trump said he was glad she was retiring.
