In November, Pelosi announced she would step down from leadership. However, she continued to serve in the House.
“There is no greater official 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 the Constitution,” she said in a floor speech announcing the decision, adding, “For me, the hour [has] come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect.”
