Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declined to rule out a future impeachment effort against President Trump should Democrats take back congressional power.
“Well, I think that, I’m not, that’s just not where we’re starting with this, but when we get power, we will have power to go there to do what we said we’re going to do, lower the cost of living,” Pelosi told MS NOW’s Ali Vitali.
“We have a convicted felon who’s president of the United States. That was then, this is now. I think, that that’s subject to review. But I don’t think that’s something, that’s not where you start,” she added. “That’s what you have to do because of what he has done. That’s subject a great review. We had great review as to what were the grounds for impeachment. And that’s up to a new Congress to come to that decision. But the fact is that, people want to know what we’re doing for them.”
“You’re asking about what comes next. That’s up to the new Congress. And that’s up to them to decide where we go of reviewing what he’s done. And that requires power, all the kinds of things that build a case. It’s not just about, ‘I feel like doing this,'” she continued.
Pelosi announced last year that she would not seek re-election in 2026, retiring from Congress.
“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power,” she declared. “We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way, and now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our Democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
