.SpeakerPelosi previews how Democrats will strong-arm House with 'scant' GOP majority
The California Democrat issued a statement Wednesday night saying House Democrats “defied expectations during the midterm elections” and “will continue to play a leading role in supporting President Biden’s agenda — with strong leverage over a scant Republican majority” in the next Congress.
She also expressed excitement about returning Democratic members of the House, saying they will “reinvigorate our Caucus with their energy, diversity and patriotism,” and thanked those who weren’t returning, noting their “landmark progress on health care, climate action, infrastructure, gun violence, veterans, and more.”
More than a week after Election Day, Republicans secured the 218 seats needed to gain control of the House. They could add more seats to that total in the coming days or weeks, as several races are still outstanding. With the House now in Republican hands, it is unclear whether Pelosi will seek another leadership position with the Democrats.In a Wednesday night tweet, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said Pelosi “has been overwhelmed by calls from colleagues, friends and supporters. This evening, the Speaker monitored returns in the three remaining critical states. The Speaker plans to address her future plans tomorrow to her colleagues. Stay tuned.
