President Joe Biden on Thursday said House SpeakerNancy Pelosi would be remembered in the future as the “most consequential” leader of the lower House in US history after she announced that she would not stand for election to leadership of the House Democrats after more than two decades leading the Democratic caucus.
“There are countless examples of how she embodies the obligation of elected officials to uphold their oath to God and country to ensure our democracy delivers and remains a beacon to the world. In everything she does, she reflects a dignity in her actions and a dignity she sees in the lives of the people of this nation,” he said in a statement released just minutes after Ms Pelosi concluded remarks from the House floor.
