Speaker Pelosi on Democrats Losing Seats: "We Held the House"

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expresses disappointment at several of her Democratic colleagues losing seats in the November 3 election and says that she had hoped to pick up some seats in Texas. However, she says the party achieved its objective of holding on the House. "We lost a few battles, but we won the war. We have the gavel, we have the gavel," she says. She also expresses optimism that Joe Biden would become the president-elect and Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) the vice president-elect and that with run-off elections in Georgia there could still be a Democratic-controlled Senate. close
