Pelosi’s tenure leaves lasting influence on U.S. politics
NPR’s report, titled “A look at the legacy and influence Nancy Pelosi will leave behind when she retires,” was bylined by correspondents Scott Shafer and Leila Fadel. According to NPR, Pelosi will retire following the 2026 midterm elections and leaves a lasting influence on U.S. politics.
The retirement takes effect after the November 2026 midterm elections rather than immediately, according to NPR.
The report carries NPR’s standing editorial disclosure that the public broadcaster “does not offer or accept money for coverage or interviews,” and warns that anyone who makes such an offer or request “is not an NPR employee and does not represent NPR.”
