Nancy Pelosi Resigns as Speaker and Democratic Leader: “Time for a New Generation”

Even if she steps down as Speaker, Nancy Pelosi will still be in the House. She said she will continue to fight for the citizens of San Francisco as their Congresswoman. His speech was primarily a tirade for the House and American democracy. “Six-year-old me saw the house for the first time: a beautiful, white building with an impressive dome. It was the most beautiful building in the world because of what it stood for. I still believed in it then. Believe.” Now he must step down from the presidency because the Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.

As a result, there is now a new Republican Speaker: Kevin McCarthy, who needs a majority of the House to vote in his favor. “He needs to get a majority in the house to become Speaker,” explains American correspondent Bjorn Sonnens. “So he needs to collect 218 votes, more than the 188 votes he’s gotten so far in the internal, Republican primary. If all the elected representatives from the Republican Party vote for him, he’s definitely the leader. But he can’t stand dissent. So it could be anybody. Else.”
