Pelosi ‘optimistic’ with Democrats’ ability to hold the House amid many tight races
On Monday, Speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) spoke on the eve of November’s midterms and said she is “optimistic” about Democrats’ chances on winning certain races where both candidates are almost tied.
When asked how nervous she is about the midterm elections, Pelosi told CNN’s Anderson Cooper: “As I said, I have heard from at least 50 of our candidates in races that are, shall we say, in some view, too close to call, in our view, ours. And I feel optimistic.”
“It just depends on turnout. And I’m a former party chair, and I’m always about owning the ground and getting out the vote. And I feel confident that we are in that position,” she added.
While Pelosi noted that “the races are close,” she said that “some of them could go one way or another. We could split it. We will see. But it’s up to the people. And whatever happens, we will respect the results of the election.”
According to the Cook Political Report, 48 seats remain a “toss up” at the time of writing.
President Biden on Monday also said he has a “very high expectation” in Democrats’ ability to hold the House.
“One more night to do everything we can to win it and to keep it going. Look, if we’re able to hold on, we’re going to be in incredible shape. Imagine what we can do in a second term if we maintain control. I know that sounds like a very high expectation, but I think — anyway, I’m optimistic,” Biden said.
