Nancy Pelosi struggled to speak, looked confused, and had to be helped by staff during a recent public appearance—raising fresh concerns about her mental and physical health. Now, conservatives are renewing calls for term limits as the aging Democrat announces plans to run again. Pelosi Struggles Publicly During Press Conference Pelosi spoke during the House Democrats’ “Cost of Living Week of Action” but appeared unable to control the event from the start. She began mumbling into a microphone that wasn’t adjusted, failing to notice the issue on her own. A staffer had to step in and fix the microphone, but Pelosi continued slurring her words and staring blankly into space. She attacked President Donald Trump’s tariff plan but had difficulty delivering her remarks clearly.

She has previously slurred her speech, frozen mid-sentence, and shown other signs of mental decline in interviews and speeches. Pelosi’s fall in Luxembourg in late 2023 left her with a fractured hip, a serious injury for someone her age. Despite these setbacks, she has shown no signs of stepping aside or endorsing new leadership.

Conservatives argue that career politicians like Pelosi are clinging to power at the expense of the American people. Supporters in her deep-blue San Francisco district have kept her in office for decades, but even some liberals are beginning to question whether she can still lead. Her latest appearance has amplified nationwide calls for congressional term limits and age caps on federal lawmakers. Americans concerned about the future of the country are demanding new leaders who can meet the moment—not career politicians past their prime.
