Resigned a year ago, Nancy Pelosi will run again in the congressional elections

Nancy Pelosi, the former leader of the House of Representatives in the US Congress, has said that she intends to run in the November elections next year.

Pelosi, 83, first won a seat in her San Francisco district in 1987, and then served two terms as speaker of the House, from 2007-2011 and 2019-2023.

She has led the Democrats for two decades in this body of Congress, while she lost this position last year after the Republican victory in the House of Representatives.

Her decision to re-enter the race is likely to reignite the debate about the age of politicians in the United States – a good number of them are over 76.

"Now, more than ever, we need to advance the values ​​of San Francisco and recover," Pelosi said in a post on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

"Our country needs an America that shows the world that our flag is still there, and that there is freedom and justice for all. That's why he will compete again and I respectfully ask for your vote".

Pelosi is the first American woman in American history who has been at the head of the House of Representatives and has played a critical role in advancing or destroying the agendas of many former American presidents.
