Shortly after a historic vote to oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, House Republican leadership informed former Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she must vacate her Capitol hideaway office on Wednesday.
“With all of the important decisions that the new Republican Leadership must address, which we are all eagerly awaiting, one of the first actions taken by the new Speaker Pro Tempore was to order me to immediately vacate my office in the Capitol,” Pelosi said in a statement on Tuesday.
The news was delivered by the House Administration Committee on Tuesday evening, in a message that said the speaker pro tempore was reassigning the hideaway for speaker office use and that the space would be “re-keyed.”
