House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says she’s confident she has the support in her caucus despite finger-pointing and frustration after Democrats lost a Georgia special election.

Democrats invested millions in the costliest House race, but Republican Karen Handel beat Jon Ossoff on Tuesday. That drew criticism of Pelosi from fellow Democrats.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Pelosi said Democrats are proud of the race they ran and she dispelled a question about stepping down.

Said the 77-year-old California lawmaker: “I feel very confident of the support that I have in my caucus.”

Pelosi also responded to President Donald Trump’s tweet that ousting her “would be very bad for the Republican Party.”

Pelosi said: “Usually they go after the most effective leaders because they want to diminish the opportunity that we have.”

"You haven't lost your delicate sense of humor, have you, Nancy?"

(for all you Nick Danger fans)

Now doubt she has to pay for caucus.

I do not want to see Nancy go, she is doing a fabulous job but isn’t the DNC Chair more responsible for these defeats than the House Minority Leader?

BTW, I think Tom Perez is doing a fabulous job too. Keep it up, Tom.

I feel very confident of the support that I have in my caucus.

Is that whistling I hear? (said as I walked past the graveyard.)

[samtheman]

Keep her, keep her, keep her!!!

[Maudeen]

She probably has a truckload of dirt on all of them thus her confidence.

[PGalt]

The FAKE face of a FAKE political party.

Never leave us Nancy...

I love the way Democrats talk about how prodigious a fundraiser she is. As if all that money does them any good.

Said the 77-year-old California lawmaker: “I feel very confident of the support that I have in my caucus.”

One suspects that her "support" just might come in the form of under-the-table "rewards", threats, and intimidation.

[McGruff]

When Pelosi was asked if it was time for new House Democratic caucus leadership, she said she was “very confident” with her levels of support, and that “my timing is not about” her critics.

“We are paving a way for a new generation of leadership,” Pelosi said. “Again, I respect any opinion that my members have, but my decision about how long I stay is not up to them.”

“I feel very confident of the support that I have in my caucus.”

This is a very bad sign. Bye-bye Nancy.

[Irish Queen]

Yup, Nancy Pelosi needs to stay for many years to come. She is really helping the conservative cause.

“Again, I respect any opinion that my members have, but my decision about how long I stay is not up to them.”

Quite right Nancy, can't have any of that democracy nonsense in the Democrat party ( As Bernie found out). In fact you need to up your game a bit. Most socialist despots get themselves elected for life.

Of course she has the support of the caucus.
She has the dirt on every one of them and no one wants to face down Nasty Nazi Pelosi’s Gestapo.
