However, she will continue to serve in Congress.<\/p>\n<p data-reader-unique-id=\"12\">Pelosi, who was elected Democratic leader in the George W. Bush administration during that time, announced the news from the House floor. Her speech, which touched on democracy and diversity, was well received by Democrats. Pelosi maintained that she would continue representing San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect,\u201d Pelosi.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi spoke briefly about Paul, her husband, who was injured when an intruder broke into their San Francisco residence and beat him with a knife. David DePape, the suspect, has pleaded guilty.

Although pre-election polling, punditry and other indicators suggested otherwise, a \u201cred wave\u201d would sweep Republicans into power in both houses of Congress, Democrats were able to prevail in several high-profile Senate contests to keep control of that chamber, and Republicans have won only a slim majority in the House \u2014 but enough to oust Pelosi from her role as the speaker.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eric Quintanar was a contributor to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) issued a directive on Friday that will allow House members to pay their staff a salary higher than that of many lawmakers in the nation\u2019s capital. \u201cAs you know, our hard-working, patriotic Congressional staffers are integral to the functioning of the House of Representatives: ensuring this institution can effectively carry &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":1790942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[6202,3653,3673,5908,4217,5280,3928,4959,9040,6195],"class_list":["post-1790939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-daily","tag-house","tag-lawmakers","tag-massive","tag-nancy","tag-pay","tag-pelosi","tag-raised","tag-staffers","tag-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1790939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/102"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1790939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1790939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1790942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1790939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1790939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1790939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
