After 500-Years In Congress Leading The Democrats Nancy Pelosi Bows Out

After 500-Years In Congress Leading The Democrats Nancy Pelosi Bows Out

November 17. 2022

Nancy Pelosi has been in Congress since the Civil War

The Republicans have taken the House of Representatives in Congress. As such, U.S. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, must vacate her position. However, she is also stepping aside in that she will not seek a leadership position with the Democrats, but states she will remain in Congress.

Pelosi has been in Congress for 35-years. However, the recent attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, who was hit in the head with a hammer at their San Francisco home, has shaken up her family. Pelosi is scaling back on some of her work commitments while her husband receives medical treatment on an outpatient basis.

Things in Congress are not good. The economy is in a bad place, COVID is still present and killing people in America (and the world), the U.S. missile shield doesn't work, and elections are becoming more contentious. The 2024 presidential election is already getting contentious and the nominees have not even been voted on yet in the primaries. Nonetheless the public should avoid political violence.
