Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Retire From Congress

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday that she wouldn't run for re-election and planned to leave her seat in Congress at the end of this term, drawing to a close a decadeslong political career that included driving landmark healthcare initiatives and going toe-to-toe with President Trump.

Pelosi, 85 years old, became the first woman to be elected speaker of the House in 2007, and is viewed as one of the most significant congressional party leaders in U.S. history. Under her leadership, Democrats passed major legislation, including the Affordable Care Act and the Inflation Reduction Act -- focused on healthcare and climate spending -- and impeached Trump twice.

Fed’s Hammack Says Central Bank Should Pause Rate Cuts

Cleveland Federal Reserve President Beth Hammack said Thursday that she supports holding off on another interest-rate cut in December, warning that inflation poses a more serious threat to the economy than a cooling labor market.

“After last week’s meeting, I see monetary policy as barely restrictive, if at all, and it’s not obvious to me that monetary policy should do more at this time,” Hammack said in remarks at the Economic Club of New York.
