I don’t know what rock House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hiding under or maybe Biden forgot to pick her up from her Taiwan trip but she’s back! ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ host Stephen Colbert tracked down the old bag of bones to make some latnigh midterm predictions and it’s bad news folks… Pelosi crawled out and saw her shadow. It’s going to be a very long winter after all.
Colbert asked Pelosi to predict if the Democrats would hold the majority in the House and Senate and she seems to think they will—Despite all odds. Pelosi went into some detail on how Democrats have been planning for a big win since Biden took office:
“We started right away to prepare for the next election in terms of organization, own the ground. When you mobilize, you must own the ground to take out the vote. You have to do that with inspiration and how it put together our messaging and that’s the second “M.” And the third is money.
So, we’re getting ready for the election. That was in December of 2020. In January 6, you know what happened, an insurrection incited by the president of the United States on the U.S. Capitol, on our Constitution, on our democracy. The greatest influx of candidates came forward, young people, people of color, people of different generations, different backgrounds and the rest, the beautiful diversity of America, came forward. They didn’t pay attention to those pundits who said you can’t win.
They went in with courage and confidence that they could win. So when Roe v. Wade came down, boom, we were totally ready. And that just caused a whole different attitude on the part of some of whether we could win. We always believed we could win because we knew we had to, because our democracy was on the ballot, our planet was on the ballot, a women’s–everything was on the ballot in this election, more than in regular– majorities come and go.”
I know Democrats are council on student handouts and abortion rights to help win a few votes but Americans aren’t stupid. Most people are struggling under Bidenomics and battling daily with Bidenflation—In short, it’s the everyday issues that drive voters to the polls. Unless Pelosi has some old tricks up her dusty sleeves, they’re losing the majority in at least one, if not both branches.
