WASHINGTON — President Trump was delighted by the news Thursday that his longtime adversary, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is retiring at the end of her term in January 2027.
“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country,” Trump told Fox News’s Peter Doocy. “She was rapidly losing control of her party.”
“I’m very honored she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice. Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician.”
Pelosi, 85, announced that she won’t vie for a 20th full term in the lower chamber and instead will round out her four-decade career in the House, where she became the first woman to wield the Speaker’s gavel.
