For John, BLUF: I thought she had earlier decided to retire, not that I think she is too old. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus three:
Rumors have been going around for months that Nancy Pelosi was planning to retire.While Speaker Pelosi is likely going to be reelected from her California District, I am doubtful the Democrats will hope a majority in the House in January 2023.Back in October, she refused to confirm to CNN’s Jake Tapper whether she would seek reelection, saying she had to have that conversation with her family first.
Well, I suppose she’s had the conversation, and if you were hoping Nancy would retire, I hate to break it to you, but according to CNN, she plans to stay at least until after the 2022 midterms.
“And sources familiar with Pelosi’s thinking say she isn’t ruling out the possibility of trying to stay in leadership after 2022, despite her original vow to leave as the top House Democrat,” CNN reports. “She’ll devote much of next year to raising money for Democrats as they try to hold their narrow majority, those sources tell CNN, adding to the nearly $1 billion her office calculates she has already raised for Democrats in her time as leader.”
Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
