Pelosi Steps Aside After Historic Leadership Run.

“What can arguably be called the Pelosi era in Washington comes to a close at noon on Tuesday as Republicans assume control of the House and Ms. Pelosi finally retreats to the rank and file where, she insists, she does not intend to be a meddling mother-in-law offering unsolicited advice.
But her presence will be felt for years in the climate, health care, public works and social legislation she ushered through to signatures by two Democratic presidents, as well as the big moments of her tenure capped off by the electrifying invitation to Volodymyr Zelensky to address Congress just days before she lost the gavel.”
Americans will feel the affects of Nancy Pelosi’s leadership for many decades into the future due to her incredibly effective leadership that both allies and foes admire and try to emulate. As she steps aside for a newer generation to take the helm, her proverbial shoes will be very difficult to fill, if not impossible. Both parties are in somewhat of a transition of leadership with the GOP now embroiled in an intense fight to determine who will lead their party. The results of these transitions will have national implications.
