I appreciate Pelosi but her not passing the gavel this run reminds of athletes who don't know when to retire.
They've might have met all their goals but accomplished a lot on a high note. They need just one more season though! Then they put people in the awkward situation where someone has to tell the legend to ride the bench while trying not to be disrespectful.
This would have been a great time for to take a more backseat role while mentoring a new speaker. I feel like it's opportunity lost due to ego.
