Pelosi: Take it to the bank -- we'll hold onto the House

In an interview with one of us yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi maintained that Democrats would hold on to the House after the midterm elections. “Take it to the bank,” she said, adding: “I’m very pleased with how the primaries have been going in terms of the votes that my members have received. Looking at the other side and who the challengers are, I feel pretty good about it.” Pelosi continued to make a distinction between how House Democrats are dealing with this election cycle versus the rest of the Democratic Party.
