The Atlantic magazine on Tuesday published an article suggesting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would resign from her leadership role “in the not-so distant future.”
“Sometime in the not-so-distant future, probably after next year’s midterm elections, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will announce that she’s stepping down” the Laurene Powell Jobs-owned publication wrote.
“Her top deputies… aspire to her job, but they’re also in their early 80s, and most Democrats in and out of Congress are counting on them to step aside too. Of course, they all have stock responses denying that anyone is ever going anywhere,” the article continued. “But the day is coming.”
“Democratic members of Congress won’t talk about any of this publicly, as if Pelosi might suddenly appear and pull their hearts from their chests,” Atlantic added before offering their elevator pitch for the next House speaker. “Pretty much every Democrat in Congress and beyond is confident that Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York will be the next speaker of the House, if Democrats manage to hold on to their majority next year.”
Similar pronouncements of Pelosi’s resignation occurred earlier in 2021 and 2020, when USA Today published a “fact check” article that defended Pelosi against rumors of resignation contingent on the outcome of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial.
“Fact check: Nancy Pelosi will not resign if Donald Trump is acquitted in impeachment trial,” the title read.
A NYC Democrat waiting in the wings for control
is all the more reason to take the House in 2022.
Yeah right, dream on.
We all know that’s a LIE !!!!! She would Never do that !!!!
He is a bigger p.o.s. than Pelosi, if that’s possible
The time when those old folks step down is when they step six feet under. Not wishing that for anyone, just stating reality.
but nancy is so young, vibrant and sexy, we cant let her go
She will still run the country behind the scenes just like Obama and Soros is doing!!!! She should have been gone years ago.
There needs to be age limits for government jobs, just like for some judges in PA and for airline pilots.
Piglosi should have been retired 20 years ago along with Feinstein.
If Dems prevail in House in ’22, Nancy will have her bony fingers clutched on the gavel until her last breath.
If Republicans win, she won’t be Speaker and Dems will make a call to the bullpen for their leader.
Maybe that house will fall on her 1st and her little dog too
Next will be the ultra liberal AOC, or “Squad” types pushing climate change and defunding police
