U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., whom President Trump called a "disgusting degenerate" over alleged insider trading and who went ballistic on a reporter last month when confronted about her role in the Capitol mayhem of Jan. 6, 2021, will reportedly not seek re-election in 2026.
Scott Wong of NBC News reports: "Multiple Democratic elected officials and top aides in CA and Washington tell NBCNews they believe Nancy Pelosi will choose not to seek re-election in 2026, after nearly four decades representing her San Francisco-based district."
"I think she's preparing to exit the stage," said a House Democratic leadership aide.
"I wish she would stay for 10 more years," said one House Democrat from California. "I think she's out. She's going to go out with Prop 50 overwhelmingly passing, and what a crowning achievement for her to do that."
NBC News added: "Fueling speculation that she might retire, Pelosi has made no outward move to counter two Democrats who have entered the district's primary, despite having raised more than $2 million this election cycle so far and sitting on a $1.5 million war chest, according to campaign records."
As WorldNetDaily reported, the former speaker of the House, now 85, was asked last month by Alison Steinberg of Lindell TV: "Congresswoman Pelosi, are you at all concerned that the January 6th Committee will find you liable for that?
"Are at all concerned about the January 6th Committee finding you liable for that day? Why did you refuse the National Guard on January 6th?"
Pelosi, who was obviously disturbed by the questions, snapped at Steinberg.
"SHUT UP!" Pelosi screamed as she pointed her finger at the correspondent.
"I did not refuse the National Guard. The president didn't send it. Why are you coming here with Republican talking points as if you're a serious journalist?"
Reacting to the retirement news, best-selling author Brigitte Gabriel said: "Nancy Pelosi should have been forced to retire a long time ago. We need term limits."
In August, President Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on Pelosi, calling the California Democrat a "disgusting degenerate" as he again called attention to alleged insider stock trading by the congresswoman and her husband.
"Crooked Nancy Pelosi, and her very 'interesting' husband, beat every Hedge Fund in 2024," Trump said Saturday night on Truth Social.
"In other words, these two very average 'minds' beat ALL of the Super Geniuses on Wall Street, thousands of them. It's all INSIDE iNFORMATION! Is anybody looking into this???"
"She is a disgusting degenerate, who Impeached me twice, on NO GROUNDS, and LOST! How are you feeling now, Nancy???"
On July 30, as WorldNetDaily reported, Trump said Pelosi "should be investigated" for insider trading.
"You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information," Trump indicated. "She made a fortune with her husband and I think that's disgraceful."
"What I do think is Nancy Pelosi should be investigated. She has the highest return of anybody, practically, in the history of Wall Street, save a few. How did that happen?
"She knows exactly what's gonna happen, what's gonna be announced. She buys stock and then the stock goes up after the announcement's made. And she ought to be investigated."
Pelosi has called Trump's allegations "ridiculous."
Trump was echoing sentiments expressed by popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who indicated: "Nancy Pelosi's the head witch."
"There's like a system and they all get funded, and they all make sure that there's this kind of crooked system that will allow someone like Nancy Pelosi who – what does she make like $200,000 a year? She's worth $150 million! How the f*** did that happen?" Rogan wondered.
"If insider trading is illegal, how the f*** is it legal for her husband to make all these purchases of stock right before these giant deals came out that she negotiated? And then he gets this windfall and they get insanely wealthy! Over and over and over again!
"And there's no investigation into it, there's no talking about it. It's f***ing wild, man, It's wild sh**. And they think Putin's a mobster. What are YOU?"
