Nancy Pelosi quitting???
I think she is quitting just because she doesn't want to hand the gavel over to a Republican at the formal ceremony. That is so childish, but typical of democrats.

As the outgoing Speaker, she will hand over the gavel to the incoming Speaker.
She had announced that she will not be her party's minority leader. That is a completely different role. "Speaker of the house" is a constitutional office, like the Presidency. Party leadership roles are not constitutional offices.
