(RightIsRight.co) – Defying expectations and raising eyebrows across the political arena, 84-year-old San Francisco Democrat Nancy Pelosi has filed paperwork to run for reelection in 2026.
This move comes despite the challenging landscape created by Donald Trump’s victory and Republican gains in Congress.
Pelosi, a member of the House since 1987, recently won her 20th term representing San Francisco.
Her decision to seek reelection in 2026 comes as a surprise to many, especially considering the current political climate, which has shifted dramatically in favor of conservative values and America First policies.
The longtime Democrat leader’s ambition to remain in office well into her late 80s raises questions about the left’s grip on power and their reluctance to make way for new leadership.
Pelosi’s decision could be seen as a desperate attempt to maintain influence in a Congress now dominated by Republicans who are committed to undoing the damage caused by years of liberal policies.
Interestingly, the House member seemed to throw Joe Biden under the bus, suggesting that Democrats might have performed better in recent elections if he had stepped aside earlier.
“Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race,” she stated, hinting at the growing dissatisfaction within the Democrat party regarding Biden’s leadership and electability.
Moreover, Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker of the House, from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023, was marked by a relentless push for liberal agendas and staunch opposition to conservative values.
Under her leadership during these periods, policies were implemented that many patriotic Americans viewed as detrimental to the nation’s core principles and economic stability.
The former Speaker’s decision to remain active in politics comes as the country is witnessing a resurgence of conservative ideals and a rejection of the progressive policies championed by Pelosi and her allies.
Her filing with the Federal Election Commission for a 2026 return signals an unwillingness to accept the changing political landscape and the will of the American people.
In a recent New York Times interview, she dodged questions about whether this would be her last term, instead expressing her intention to continue fighting for Democrat victories.
“I’m not here to talk about that. I’m here to fight the fight so that we win in the next election. I must have thought I had the last term over and over again, but as fate would have it, the mission called,” Pelosi affirmed.
Pelosi’s role as a significant opponent of President Trump during his first term has been well-documented, and her concern about his return to the White House is palpable.
This time, however, she finds herself in unfamiliar territory – no longer in a leadership position during a Republican administration for the first time since George W. Bush’s first term.
