Nancy Pelosi, former House Speaker, has announced her retirement following nearly four decades in public office. Her decision has prompted praise from several Democrats, including individuals positioning themselves to potentially fill her congressional seat. This development also occurs within a broader context of intra-party discussions concerning the longevity of senior leadership within the Democratic Party.
Separately, House Speaker Johnson expressed confidence regarding upcoming Supreme Court arguments scheduled for Wednesday. Johnson stated his belief that a majority of the court would uphold the Trump administration's "legal authority" to continue its expansive tariffs.
