81-Year-Old US Speaker, Nancy Pelosi To Seek 19th Term

Speaker of the US Congress, Nancy Pelosi has said that she would be seeking another term in the congress.

Pelosi has been representing the San Francisco district since 1987 and made history 15 years ago when she emerged as the first female speaker of the House.

“While we have made progress, much more needs to be done to improve people’s lives,” Pelosi said in a video shared on her official Twitter handle.

“This election is crucial. Nothing less is at stake than our democracy. Our democracy is at risk because of the assault on the truth, assault on the US Capitol and the state-by-state assault on voting rights,” she added.
