Nancy Pelosi Slams Trump, Says US Looks 'Bullied' By Xi Jinping

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced in early November that she would not run for re-election in 2026, ending her decades-long tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The decision means investors will no longer get public disclosures on what stocks her husband Paul Pelosi is buying and selling, starting in January 2027.

Until Pelosi exits, investors can peruse filings of her current portfolio, which has seven holdings in common with the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Here’s a look at the seven stocks that appear in both Pelosi's portfolio and in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
