'US House Speaker Pelosi to seek re-election, reversing earlier plan

Brilliant idea! We can enjoy her future frustration as minority leader for months to come.

[JPost] US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Tuesday she will run for a 19th term in office, signaling that she could also seek to continue leading her caucus after earlier saying she would step down from leadership after 2022.

#7 The second referenced article is from The Babylon Bee. Thought for sure it was real.

Maybe Satan will take her before she runs for office.

#8 It's not like there's any chance the good people of San Francisco would ever elect a Republican to take her place if she did retire.

#9 The lasr grift, remember she keeps campaign funds when she retires, and you don’t get much if you aren’t running. Tje midterms are fair, she retired quickly to avoid the annoyance of being an meaningless leftover, and if they cheat, more glorious leadership for the husband’s business investment portfolio.

#10 At some point, she and her husband should have made enough money. Didn't somebody famous say that once?

#11 #8 this is true. However, that becomes a junior seat rather than the senior representative.

#12 Her district is pretty safe. I suspect she's hanging on to try to shore up the holes in the leaking ship that are letting all the rats escape.

#13 Look at the expiration dates for the $5-10 million or so in long-dated options contracts she & her husband just disclosed.

Bet those dates are outside her qualified immunity window assuming she were two step down.
