She has wisdom, experience and works for the best for the country! She has really stepped up in these perilous times and I fear that we will not see her likes again...

Can’t even say what Nancy means to me. I have a postcard of her pointing Trump out about Putin. I will treasure it always and share with all the girls in my family. She’s special. Irreplaceable. Age? Don’t get me started!! Thankful she’s running again. Incredible resource.

I've often wondered how we'd manage without her - and now we won't have to. She has done so much that she deserves a well-earned rest - but, as always, she's putting country first!

She doesn't miss a beat, I don't give a shit what her age is, she's more than fit for the job and she is humble regarding her greatness.

It made my day to see her announce her re-election bid! I've been suffering withdrawals since she stepped out of her leadership role. I think she could well help flip the House again and get Jeffries in as Speaker. That's my hope.

She has the wisdom, the experience and the smarts of those half her age - I don't know what we'd do without her!

Be in more of a scary place than we are if she weren't secure in her knowledge and understanding. She's a natural and is on top of any situation without balking... even when we think she is.

There are few in Congress who hold the vast knowledge and understanding of our laws and what they are about because she either crafted or had a role in crafting them since the 1980s. And 30 years on the Intelligence Committee which she helped create.

We need her as much as we ever have at this time, maybe even more.

never do without her. Arguably one of the most important domestic legislations in our lifetime. Can’t remember if Ted Kennedy was alive and voting at the time but when I think of healthcare legislation I always think of him (sorry showing my ignorance in my excitement!).

I'm sure we will never forget her intentionally ripping up TFG's "State of the Union" speech on camera - and her courage and leadership (which we witnessed thanks to her daughter's brilliant film) on January 6th. She is a leader for the ages!
