Is Nancy Pelosi going to just hand her Congressional Seat over to her daughter to continue the Pelosi dynasty now that she’s stepping down?
It might not be quite that easy, but some believe that’s exactly what they’ll try to do.
On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi announced she will retire and not seek re-election after being in office for over 40 years.
Pelosi announced on Thursday morning she would not seek re-election in 2027.
The world of politics never stops, so shortly after she announced she was retiring, many people have speculated that her daughter Christine Pelosi would take her mother’s seat.
The Hill had more details to add on Pelosi’s possible replacements.
The race is on to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) after she announced on Thursday she wouldn’t be running for reelection, opening up her San Francisco-based House seat for the first time in decades.
A handful of Democrats have been floated as potential successors. Unlikely other states, California has a “jungle primary,” meaning all candidates are listed on the same ballot, regardless of party. The top two vote-getters then proceed to the general election, meaning two Democrats could square off next November for her seat.
