It is clearly better for the Democratic Party for Pelosi to stand for reelection, Democrats lose control of the House and then she retires (perhaps even resigns to allow a special election, where also a handpicked successor is more likely to triumph in the Congressional seat) in 2023 than it is for Pelosi to announce her retirement now, kicking off a succession battle before the Democrats have even lost control of the House, with the new House leader coming into a loss immediately and having to manage the transition to minority.
Will she do that? Maybe, maybe not. But it's the most sensible way for things to go. It would be chaos if she retired this year.
