To me nancy pelosi has really towed and led the party line. Reporter this is a professor of history and communication at cal state east bay. He says another run makes sense. The fact that someone with so much influence and influential career as nancy pelosi not to mention fundraising, it is not surprising she would want to continue her political career. Reporter nbc meet the press Host Chuck Todd feels differently. Im surprised. I understand if some people are like, hey. You know, a generation is supposed to leave the stage at some point, right, to make room for the next generation of leaders. I imagine this is going to be received with some, as a mixed bag. Some are going to love it because they are loyal to her. Reporter former mayor willie brown says he also saw it coming even as others predicted the longtime democrat might walk away from the house. Its what ive been predicting for months. It is a mistake for anybody to think that we politicians would make a decision so far in advance about our own careers and what we will be doing or not doing. Nbc bay area news. For many of us it is hard to imagine american politics without nancy pelosi. She has been a trend setting democratic leader for two decades. We thought it would be worth while to take a look back at her past. Representative pelosi moved to San Francisco with her family in 1969. She was active in the Democratic Party and raised her children but pelosi didnt actually run for office until 1987 when she was 47 years old. She made history in 2003 by becoming House Minority leader and then just four years later became speaker of the house. She later lost the role but regained it in 2019 and that is an achievement which hadnt happened in half a century.

Reporter kaiser acknowledged the situation and says it has conducted its own investigations and cleanups as well as more employee training which state officials confirm it has done. The local das are still watching. We will be monitoring as well to make sure that kaiser stays on the right side of the law. Hopefully this sends a clear message that we must do better to protect our environment, communities, and privacy of our patients in california. Reporter kaisers work is not done yet.

Nbcs alice barr has more from washington. Reporter in georgia today a previously secret report was released showing that a special grand jury in Fulton County recommended indicting 21 additional people in the state election interference case against former President Trump and his already 18 codefendants. Among those 21 new names that the District Attorney chose not to charge South Carolina senator lindsey graham, a trump ally i voted to certify the election. To suggest i am part of a grand scheme to overturn the election makes no sense.

Trump and his allies efforts to overturn georgias 2020 Election Results. Also named but never charged former georgia senators david purdue and kelly leffler.

Then it is up to the prosecutor to exercise her discretion to make a decision as to who they should indict. Reporter former President Trump on social media blasting the grand jury report saying, quote, they wanted to indict anybody who happened to be breathing at the time. He denies any wrongdoing. Legal experts say prosecutors may have decided there wasnt enough evidence to ultimately indict the 21 people we are learning about today or there could be things like the speech and debate clause that protects members of congress. It is also possible that some of them are now cooperating with the investigation. In washington, alice barr, nbc news.
