“We still think we have a shot at winning,” Nancy Pelosi told CNN.
With five days to go before the midterm elections, some 20 polls for the lower house of Congress have yet to deliver. According to CNN and ABC, Republicans currently hold 211 of the 218 seats needed for a majority.
“There are still a lot of ballots to count,” said Nancy Pelosi, comparing the electoral process to the Olympics: “Within half a second you can have gold, silver or bronze.”
The elected official was more generally satisfied with the Democratic Party’s results in the midterm elections, ironically that the heralded Republican “surge” had not taken place.
“Who would have thought two months ago that this red wave would become a very small droplet, and still…”, he began.
The results in the Senate, “to be celebrated”
The elected also wanted to greet the results in the Senate, the day after the announcement of the victory of a Democratic candidate in the state of Nevada, which allows the party to retain control of the upper house.
“It’s such a cause for celebration,” she said with a smile.
When asked if he intends to run to remain at the head of the Democratic procession in the House of Representatives, the current “speaker” did not want to come forward.
