House Speaker Pelosi Prepares for Possible Stalemate in Electoral College

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responds to a reporter's question about her plans for dealing with a possible stalemate in the Electoral College and the role the House must play under the 12th Amendment to resolve the election. Speaker Pelosi explains that a majority of state delegations would decide the outcome and that the Democrats need to win one state delegation to ensure that no party has a majority of state delegations. Asked what her message to the president was, Speaker Pelosi responds, saying, "There ain't no light at the tunnel for you in the House of Representatives. It isn't going to work. So don't cause chaos because you think it will lead to a light at the end of the tunnel, because that light at the end of the tunnel is going to be a train coming right at your plan." close
