House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who made history as the first woman to serve in the role, will not seek another term as Democratic leader.
It was unclear heading into Thursday what decision Pelosi had made, and she took two versions of her speech home with her Wednesday night, a source familiar with the matter said. The speaker declined to answer questions about her plans when arriving at the Capitol Thursday morning.
In 2007, she made history as the first woman to be elected speaker of the House when Democrats took the majority. She has served four nonconsecutive terms as speaker since, uniting an often fractious Democratic caucus to pass some of the most consequential legislation in recent history under the Obama and Biden administrations.
Her fractured relationship with Trump was on display during her speech, as she highlighted the legislative achievements of George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, with no mention of the 45th president.
