Nancy Pelosi has announced that she will retire from Congress when her current term ends in January 2027, meaning she has not yet retired but has set that date for her departure.

Key timeline

  • In early November 2025, Pelosi released a video statement saying she would not seek re‑election.
  • In that announcement, she specified that she plans to retire at the end of her current term, which concludes in January 2027.

What “retire” means here

  • Pelosi is retiring from Congress, i.e., she will step down as the representative for her San Francisco district when her term expires in January 2027.
  • Until that date, she continues to serve in the House, so her retirement is announced and scheduled, but not yet effective as of now.
