"Political analysts consider Pelosi, 85, one of the most effective legislative leaders in recent US history. With small margins, Pelosi was mostly able to keep her caucus united behind legislative goals on healthcare, the environment and other issues. Her ability to raise money for Democrats was one reason she remained as minority leader when she lost her speaker's gavel after the 2010 midterms and ascended again to speaker in 2018, when the Democrats won the majority."
"On the internet, Pelosi has been falsely accused of being drunk (many, many times); of spending extravagantly on her hair; of falling; of crying in public; of being arrested; of palling around with drug kingpin El Chapo; of calling Americans stupid; of being expelled from the House; of being divorced by her husband; of being arrested and disappeared by US marshals; of committing treason; and of being executed."
Nancy Pelosi announced retirement effective January 2027. PolitiFact began covering her in 2007 and first rated one of her statements Half True on August 25, 2008, regarding Barack Obama. PolitiFact has evaluated Pelosi 56 times on the Truth-O-Meter, with a median rating of Half True. Political analysts consider Pelosi one of the most effective recent legislative leaders; she often kept her caucus united on healthcare, the environment and other goals and played a major fundraising role. Pelosi lost the speakership in 2010, regained it in 2018, lost it again in 2022, and remained a rank-and-file member. Online, she has been the target of many false and sensational accusations.
