Pelosi: An Election Winner Retires

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi retires after another huge election win. Proposition 50, California’s anti-Trump redistricting measure that she worked/ advocated/fundraised for, passed 64 to 36% or a 28 percent victory (count on November 7).

Pelosi first became speaker in 2007 after the 31-seat Republican House loss in W. Bush’s second mid-term. She regained the gavel in 2018 in Trump’s 41-seat collapse in his mid-term.

Pelosi’s Big House Wins
Year President Win Seats Notes
2006 Bush 31 Pelosi becomes speaker
2018 Trump 41 Regains the gavel
2026 Trump ? Jeffries ?

As she finishes her final House year, she wants an anti-Trump victory like 2018 and to hand the gavel to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
