The sun had barely set on Rep. Kevin McCarthy's historic ouster from the speakership Tuesday when his temporary replacement issued his first orders: boot Rep. Nancy Pelosi out of her honorary Capitol office. A source familiar with Pelosi's staff confirmed that officials on Tuesday night began moving her things out of the hideaway office — a small secondary office to retire to in between business on the House floor. Rep. Patrick T.
Dianne Feinstein, she said in a statement. 'Office space doesn’t matter to me, but it seems to be important to them,' Pelosi said. 'Now that the new Republican Leadership has settled this important matter, let’s hope they get to work on what’s truly important for the American people.” Pelosi and McCarthy were famously rivals, but he allowed Pelosi to keep her Capitol hideaway office as former speaker. Most lawmakers do not keep offices in the main Capitol building.
