Pelosi returns to DC after hip surgery in Germany

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she is en route to Washington after recently undergoing a hip replacement surgery in Germany following a fall in Luxembourg last month.

“I am on my way to Washington to proudly represent the people of San Francisco in Congress. I’m honored to do so to share our San Francisco values,” Pelosi said in a video posted Thursday on the social platform X. “Thank you for giving me that honor.”

Pelosi, 84, traveled alongside 17 other lawmakers to Luxembourg last month for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. The California veteran lawmaker sustained an injury after falling down. She was hospitalized in Luxembourg. The former House Speaker was then transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where she underwent a “successful” surgery, according to her spokesperson.

The update from Pelosi comes as all House Democrats are expected to be in attendance in the Capitol on Friday for the vote to choose the next Speaker of the lower chamber, according to the Democratic whip’s office.
