Rep. Nancy Pelosi leveraged decades of power in the U.S. House to become one of the most influential political leaders of her generation. She won't seek reelection in 2026.

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene praised former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on CNN Thursday.

The daughter of a politician, she didn’t expect to become one. But once she ran for office in 1987, there was no stopping her.

According to Quiver Quantitative, Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, a venture capitalist, have an estimated net worth of more than $230 million as of 2024 numbers. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi earned $223,500 yearly and also brings in $174,000 annually as a member of Congress.

The National News Desk reported just days ago that Pelosi had a special announcement to share after Tuesday's elections.

More than just about anyone, Pelosi knows how to read a political situation with dispassion, detachment and clear-eyed calculation.

Nancy Pelosi was known as a Democratic party fundraiser and housewife in 1987, before her ascent to power in a short and vicious knife fight of a campaign.

Democratic party insiders don’t think Rep. Nancy Pelosi will seek re-election in 2026. The 85-year-old lawmaker is expected to speak Tuesday.
