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?

Here’s Pelosi making the announcement:

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.

Democrats are gushing over Pelosi’s tenure as democratic leader in the House.
