Nancy Pelosi Retires, Immediately Starts Campaigning for Her Mentored Protégé’s Presidency

KEY POINTS

•Nancy Pelosi, at 85, is retiring from Congress but actively endorses Gavin Newsom for the 2028 presidential race.
•Pelosi has praised Newsom's leadership across numerous magazines, highlighting his hard work despite perceptions of privilege.
•They publicly collaborated on a 2025 California redistricting referendum to counteract similar Republican efforts ahead of midterms.

At a spry 85, Nancy Pelosi is officially retiring from Congress but can't resist managing how Gavin Newsom, that 58-year-old California governor she 'knew before he was born,' might carry the White House banner in 2028. Pelosi’s role shifts from House Speaker to Gavin's ultimate hype woman: she’s called him masterful, hard-working (despite being born with a silver spoon big enough to feed an army), and primed for presidency—all in elite outlets from Vogue to The New Yorker, making aides wonder if she’s just online-stalking a crush. They even rallied together last fall to finesse a redistricting referendum against Trump’s conservative map makeover. Pelosi's donor network is so tight it could fund a Mars colony, while Newsom’s spokesperson called Pelosi 'the epitome of selfless public service,' probably while hiding popcorn at the mention of Pelosi’s insistence she’s a 'Gavin fan-girl.' Quips aside, the duo’s entwined family trees apparently have more branches than a Morning Joe episode. Spoiler: Pelosi plans to keep flaunting her political power but might just whisper from the sidelines once she’s out of office.
