US House of Representatives: Pelosi relinquishes leadership of Democrats

After the US President and his vice president, she was number three in the state: Nancy Pelosi, Chair of the House of Representatives. Now she has announced that she will give up the leadership of the Democrats in the House of Representatives.

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi will no longer lead her party in the House of Representatives. The 82-year-old democrat announced this at the beginning of a parliamentary session. “For me, it’s time for a new generation to lead the Democratic Group, which I respect so much,” she said.

The US Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. You must now appoint a new faction leader. Pelosi will remain MP.

Pelosi is considered a key liberal figure

As chairman of the House of Representatives, Pelosi was previously number three in the state ranking after the US president and his vice president. The Democrat from California is considered a key liberal figure in American politics. In 2007, she became the first woman in the country to hold the position of Chair of the Chamber for the first time.

A brutal attack on her husband Paul Pelosi recently overshadowed the US election campaign. A few days before the so-called midterms, an attacker broke into the couple’s home in San Francisco. The attack was aimed at Pelosi herself, who was not at home at the time.
