Pelosi, 83, to Seek Re-election in 2024 After Stepping Down as House Leader

Nancy Pelosi, 83, has served in the House since 1987 and was the first female Speaker of the House.
She announced she will seek re-election to her San Francisco district in November 2024.
Pelosi recently stepped down as Democratic House leader after Republicans won control in the 2022 midterms.
Her decision will likely reignite debate about the advanced age of top US political leaders like Biden and Trump.
Polls show most Americans favor age limits for politicians and are concerned about Biden’s age affecting his competence.
