Let the anticipation come to an end.
Nancy Pelosi will not seek re-election to democratic leadership.
She made the announcement earlier today.
“With great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek re-election to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” she said.
Pelosi has been the leader of the House democrats since 2003, and served as speaker for 8 years between two terms.
Democrats are of course gushing about how wonderful and amazing Pelosi was as House leader.
The rest of the country?
Not so much…

Fox News has more on the announcement:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek re-election as leader of the House Democratic Conference after nearly 20 years at the helm, after Democrats narrowly lost the majority in the chamber during the midterm elections.
“With great confidence in our caucus, I will not seek re-election to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” said Pelosi. “For me, the hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect, and I’m grateful that so many are ready and willing to shoulder this awesome responsibility.”
“There is no greater special honor for me than to stand on this floor and to speak for the people of San Francisco. This I will continue to do as a member of the House speaking for the people of San Francisco, serving the great state of California and defending our Constitution,” she continued.
.@SpeakerPelosi announced after having to step down as Speaker, she would not seek any leadership positions in the now minority Democrat Party. That’s because she can’t get elected to one. Perhaps @JoeBiden will nominate her as ambassador to Skid Row! pic.twitter.com/MY32eK1gqP

Democrats are gushing over Pelosi’s tenure as democratic leader in the House.
Joe Biden’s handlers put this together on his Twitter:
When I think of Nancy Pelosi, I think of dignity.
History will note her as the most consequential Speaker of the House of Representatives in history – she is first, last, and always for the people. America owes her a debt of gratitude for her service, patriotism, and dignity. pic.twitter.com/U2xvEVC1E5

I’d post more of these tributes, but I don’t want our readers to get sick to their stomachs.
Instead, here’s how everyone else reacted:
The Pelosi era is over.
Good riddance!

New reports from DC say that after losing the House to Trump Republicans, Nancy Pelosi is too embarrassed to continue as House Democratic Leader and will step down today.
It’s a great day for America!

Nancy Pelosi is the only House Speaker in history to abuse her office to try to jail her party's political enemies.
