President Trump has given his first reaction to Nancy Pelosi announcing her retirement. On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi announced she will retire and not seek re-election after being in office for over 40 years. Trump used the moment to call out the former House Speaker and jokingly shared he was “honored” to be impeached twice by her. Fox News provided further details on President Trump’s reaction to Pelosi’s retirement: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will not be seeking re-election after completing her current term, she announced in a video Thursday morning. “There has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, ‘I speak for the people of San Francisco.’ I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress, and I’ve always honored the soul of Saint Francisco — ‘Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.’ The anthem of our city,” Pelosi said in a voiceover. “That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative as we go forward.” Pelosi has been a power player in U.S. politics for decades, having served as House speaker from 2007 to 2011 and then again from 2019 to 2023. Her most recent stint in power also saw Pelosi serve as a chief antagonist to President Donald Trump during his first term. Her constant clashes with the president, including tearing up his State of the Union speech while sitting behind him as he delivered it in 2020, earned her the nickname “Crazy Nancy” by the Republican commander-in-chief. Trump cheered Pelosi’s announcement in comments to Fox News, “The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America.” He called her “evil,” “corrupt,” and “only focused on bad things for our country.” “She was rapidly losing control of her party and it was never coming back. I’m very honored she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice,” Trump said.

The California Democrat announced Thursday that she will not seek reelection for another term, closing the book on a storied, four-decade career through which she rewrote history as the country’s first female Speaker, advanced some of the most consequential legislation of the modern era, and secured her place as among the most powerful — if polarizing — lawmakers ever to serve in Congress. In a video posted to social media, Pelosi described her love for San Francisco, saying that of all the titles she’s held, “there has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say I speak for the people of San Francisco.” “I will not be seeking reelection to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” she added. “As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history, we have made progress, we have always led the way. “And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
