House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will not seek reelection in 2026 , marking an end to a decadeslong career that made her the first female speaker of the House.
The news comes after a few weeks of speculation that she may not seek a 21st term in the House after California state Sen. Scott Wiener launched a primary bid against the longtime congresswoman in late October.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
