US Democrat Nancy Pelosi relinquishes leadership of the House of Representatives

US Democrat Nancy Pelosi was the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Now she resigned in an emotional speech.

Following the midterm elections held in the United States, US politician Nancy Pelosi (82) decided not to stand for election and consequently relinquish leadership of the Democratic Party in the Congress Chamber. She said it was “time for a new generation to lead the Democratic faction, which I respect so much,” which she also received applause from some Republicans. However, Pelosi will continue to serve as an MP.

In the midterm elections, the Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives to the Republicans, as expected. Pelosi, who ranked third in the state ranking behind US President Joe Biden (79) and Vice President Kamala Harris (58) as its chair, was the first woman to assume the office in 2007.
