WASHINGTON (AP) Speaker Nancy Pelosi once predicted shed have the 2020 House Democratic majority secured by November of 2019.
Now, days before the Nov. 3 election, she seems to have done it, and shes expanding her reach.
With control of the House hardly contested, Pelosi is working to fortify Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and win extra House seats in case Congress is called on to resolve any Electoral College dispute with President Donald Trump.
Pelosi said she feels so confident Democrats will keep the House this election, shes already preparing to win the next one in 2022.
This year, Im trying to win it two years in advance by being so substantial in this election that as soon as we start into the next year, people will see our strength, Pelosi told The Associated Press in an interview.
We intend to hold the House and grow our numbers, she said about the election Nov. 3, and contribute to winning the Senate and the presidency.
Its a stunning turnaround for the speaker, who just two years ago was being challenged for her job leading House Democrats. Pelosi rose as the face of party, the House impeached the president and emboldened Democrats are on the march to pick up House seats deep into Trump country.
Democrats are working to reelect some 40 House freshmen elected in the 2018 midterm to win the majority, most of them from districts Trump won in 2016. Theyre digging deeper for additional seats in historically out-of-reach Republican strongholds including Nebraska, Indiana and even Alaska and Montana, where winners could tip the balance in an Electoral College dispute.

IMHO she lives for her stature. If the Democrats lose the House, she will not go quietly into a comfortable wonderful night.
"I am game for his crooked jaw, and for the jaws of Death too, Captain Ahab, if it fairly comes in the way of the business we follow; but I came here to hunt whales, not my commander's vengeance. How many barrels will thy vengeance yield thee even if thou gettest it, Captain Ahab? it will not fetch thee much in our Nantucket market."
What say you, Captain Nancy?
>>>You still follow AP?
WOW...<<<
Some FReepers still follow the NFL like good little slaves for the overthrow of America through unamerican activities.
Hard to believe, yea?
How are Republicans looking for a take over of the House next week?
Pelosi embodies the “Evil Triad”.
Resentment, arrogance, deceit.
NFL? Oh yeah, Antifa VS BLM.
I can’t imagine normal people still following that rotten bull s**t.
I just looked up Pelosi’s race. I don’t event think she has a challenger. I think it’s safe to say she will be in Congress next year. I think I misinterpreted what you said. I think you were talking about Pelosi losing her positions as Speaker of the House. My bad.
“Republicans will retake the House by 5-10 seats. People voting for Trump are not going to vote for Democrats.”
Agree.
Whoever wins the White House will sweep both houses.
I didn’t know she had no real opponent. Hope she loses her ‘position’ anyhow!......................
She is being challenged by Shahid Buttar, another Democrat, due to California’s stupid primary rules that practically guarantees incumbency and Democrats forever...

She is going to lose 40 to 50 seats!
That would explain why her dentures look they are constantly trying to jump out of her stinking pie-hole (who could blame them?)
Fixodent won't adhere to surfaces cleaned with hand sanitizer!
No way are the dems going to increase their numbers in the House. This isnt 2018 here. The GOP will flip back at least five.
Nancy’s plan is for the Dem to loudly yell and shout their victory
And threaten any who oppose her bullying lieing claims with politically motivated civil violence.
,,,just sayin’
They’ve gone full blown Bolshevik
(Never go full blown Bolshevik.)
Yeah, and Hillary was going to win, too.
:^) Methinks it was just an AP puff piece, done by a Partisan Media Shill.
I know the Democrat turd mistake in my district is gone. Max Rose was losing already because he said he wouldn’t vote to impeach then he did. He rallied with BLM to defund our police and just got caught telling all the people telling him he is a fraud they are out of their f÷÷king minds
