“The political decisions that are made out there, are made in furtherance of our winning the election, Pelosi told reporters during a news conference Friday. “We think that the contrast between Democrats and Republicans as they are now, is so drastic that we have to — we have to win.”…

Pelosi’s comments came in response to a reporter asking how the speaker aligned remarks she has made repeatedly about the demand for a strong Republican Party with Democrats’ effort to boost election-denying Republican candidates.

“I said that we need a strong Republican Party, not a cult of personality, that didn’t mean we shouldn’t have a strong Democratic Party as well,” Pelosi said.
