Nancy Pelosi Ignores Reality, Still Believes She Can Win The House

July 12, 2017

Nancy Pelosi continues to deny her role in the Democratic Party’s astounding losses.

In an interview on Tuesday, the Democratic Leader described herself and her Senate counterpart, Chuck Schumer, as the “voices for winning” back Congress.

Ignoring her years of election failures and the most recent special election defeats, Pelosi still believes she can lead her party to victory.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) described herself and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) as the “voices for winning” back the majorities in their respective chambers in the 2018 midterm elections.

In an interview with KTVU anchor Ken Wayne published Tuesday, Pelosi discussed the Democratic Party’s hopes of taking back the majority from the Republicans. The GOP has held the House since 2010 and the Senate since 2014.

“We’re the voices, the Senate leader and I are the voices for winning those races in [the] House and the Senate, and we’re ready,” Pelosi said.

She said it was “very possible” for Democrats to take back the House, adding it might be easier than winning back the Senate, where Republicans are defending fewer seats.

Pelosi is one of the most unpopular politicians in the country, and some members of her own caucus called for fresh leadership after Georgia Democratic House candidate Jon Ossoff lost his special election race last month, in part due to Republicans tying him to Pelosi in their advertising.

Pelosi defended herself against the onslaught, saying she was a “master legislator” and would leave her position on her own terms.
