Prediction: She retires in 2024, after seeing what it is like to not be in the majority again

She has been in the minority for about half of her political life (she was first elected in 1987 in a special election).  It is nothing new for her.

I'm starting to think that Pelosi might be a lifer. The woman is truly past her welcome. She's been the Democratic House Leader for 19 years, longer than any other Leader of either party, in either House, with the sole exception of Sam Rayburn. Democrats sorely need to remove her from her position, but unfortunately, because of her political connections and fundraising strength, they won't.

The Pelosi, Hoyer and Clyburn trio seem like they will just never voluntarily relinquish their positions, even as they go well into their eighties. Even the prospect of losing their majority in the House doesn't seem to cut it for them.

I think that shows their lack of confidence in younger Democrats coming up after them.
