Nancy Pelosi: waste of my time when questions about serving full two-year term


#shorts On 12/15/2022, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) swatted away a question about whether she would serve her full, two-year term in the next Congress as the longtime Democratic leader prepares to step down from the caucus’s top brass next month. A reporter asked Pelosi, ‘Will you commit to serving your full two-year term for the people of San Francisco?’ “What is this? What is this? Don’t bother me with a question like that,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference when asked if she would commit to serving her full term for her San Francisco district. She continued to protest despite other reporters in the room once again clamoring to ask a question. “Really, really, OK. I said what I’m gonna do. You know, those kinds of questions are such a waste of my time,” she said. The speaker did not definitively say yes or no.

The question came during what may be Pelosi’s last press conference as Speaker as she gets ready to leave Democratic leadership in the next Congress. Questions have surrounded Pelosi since her announced departure from leadership over whether the 82-year-old will complete the new term she won. Rumors, however, have continued to swirl around whether Pelosi, 82, will serve out the full term she just won. The Speaker noted that her time as the top Democrat is coming to an end. “And so, here we are, this may be the last time I see you in this way,” she told reporters at her weekly press conference.

Asked how she wants her legacy of serving in leadership to be remembered, Pelosi said, “Nothing in any of the years that I was there compares to the Affordable Care Act.”
