House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced she is running for re-election as Democrats face the threat of losing control of the Congress in the upcoming midterms.
Pelosi is 81 years old, and will be turning 82 in mid-March. If she were to be re-elected, the San Francisco Democrat would be 84 years old by the time the 2024 midterm elections are held.
Her age does not rule out retirement however, as a number of current Senators and Congress representatives are older than Pelosi. The oldest person to have served in the House is Representative Ralph Hall, who represented both Democrats and Republicans in his 35 years in the House. He retired in 2015, aged 91.The Democratic House Leader is a veteran of the U.S. political scene and has been serving in the House for 18 two-year consecutive terms.In 2007, Pelosi made history by becoming the first female speaker of the House.
