Nancy Pelosi will run for re-election in 2024.

Breaking via CNN on my phone.

1. Good!

Pelosi still has much to give.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

2. That is great news

[RandySF]

5. No one can raise money for House Dems like she can.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

6. I agree

12. ROFL

[Hortensis]

27. Great! I really like having her great capabilities in the house.

And what this says about her wellbeing. Will she finally step down to 2 or 3" heels or would that be when she threw the towel in?

Go, Nancy!

[Turbineguy]

3. This

I like.

[Sympthsical]

4. Interesting development

Because everyone had been gearing up for Christine Pelosi vs. Scott Weiner for the past year.

[RandySF]

18. They can file if they want.

[RandySF]

10. I challenge you to find anyone at any age with a sharper mind than Pelosi's.

[Sky Jewels]

14. Please see comment 9.

[RandySF]

16. Bernie Sanders is also up for reelection in 2024.

Do you think he should retire?

[Sky Jewels]

24. If you look at the full comment you responded to, # 7, you'll see that I addressed Bernie.

"And I love Bernie, but if he gets re-elected next year he'll be 90ish at the end of that term. Enough."

So the answer is, yes, I think he should retire--especially because he'd undertake another 6-year term. That's way too risky.

I am consistent in my belief that mid-80s on up is just too damn old for people to be in extremely demanding and high positions of elected power.

[AntivaxHunters]

13. I'm with you.

[hlthe2b]

23. Vile attitude IMO.

People are individuals and should be assessed as such.

[Calculating]

8. Uh, this is looking like another feinstein situation already

These people need to retire and let some fresh blood have a go.

[Mz Pip]

9. I agree

Her seat is a safe Dem seat and there are plenty of young Democrats who she could pass the torch to.

[RandySF]

11. San Francisco politics is a hot mess.

[Sky Jewels]

15. Exactly.

[Hortensis]

28. 435 members, and EVERY 2 YEARS new blood comes in. Lots of it.

Imo, that's not a valid excuse for calling for moving out our best and brightest.

435 members mean there's plenty of room for both. And the enormity of the responsibilities mean there's great need for both. (Though if one were possible, absolutely it'd have to be the proven best.)

17. Perhaps the House members asked her to run again to learn more while they can

In two years Nancy will probably retire, but I still support her leadership and courage.

If it wasn't for Pelosi's leadership that saved Democracy of J6. Nancy knew what needed to be done because she KNOWS how our government works.

[Tree Lady]

19. She will make a great advisor

to all in congress. When I saw that pic of her at the White House standing up pointing at Trump with a room full of white guys, I thought she is the bravest woman I know.

None of them had the guts to stand up to Trump and tell him to his face how stupid his ideas were.

[MagickMuffin]

22. She also exclaimed at that meeting "All roads lead to Putin"

She was spot on.





Meanwhile we have people on this very thread diss her SMDH!

[Joinfortmill]

20. As long as you've got it, and she's got it.

[leftstreet]

21. Oddly, it may take some pressure off Biden

Harder to single him out if he's part of a larger group of electeds

[themaguffin]

25. I think retiring for 2024 would allow the next Dem to be an incumbent during the off year

and that would be more helpful.

I'm not saying that she needs to retire, but at 83, that's realistic planning her exit would make sense.

I think that she's great and smarter than most in the room, so I trust that ultimately she'll do what makes sense.

[budkin]

26. I love what she's accomplished but enough is enough

These ancient politicians need to RETIRE.
