Meanwhile, back here in the studio, we are now joined by a leader in modern politics who

hardly needs an introduction, that's Speaker Emerita and California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Madam Speaker, welcome back.

Great to have you with us.

Wonderful to be with you.

It's a tradition now.

I think this is my fifth time on election night.

We love having you back every time.

Thanks for being a part of this. I know we want to talk about the White House, but I got to start with the House that you know so well. Last time you were here, you were confident. Democrats will win back control of the House. Specifically, you talked about the five New York seats you lost in 2022. Are you still confident you'll win back those five and control? Yeah, well, may I just say that I was countering what was being proposed, which was that

we were going to lose 30 or 40 seats.

And I said, no, I thought that we could win the House, which I did think.

We did lose those seats in New York.

I think we'll win them back, probably all of them, maybe more, in this election, and

Hakeem Jeffries will be the Speaker of the House.

I've been traveling, I haven't been to Georgia lately, but I have been to all of the other

target states, because we have races in those states for the House, as well as for President

of the United States. And I do believe that we will win the House, that Hakeem will be,

Speaker. It is necessary from the standpoint of our policies, but also in terms of our democracy,

that on January 6th, just as I had the gavel last time, it's important for him

to have the gavel to make sure that the election is accepted by the Congress of the United States.

And that shouldn't even be a question. When we spoke during the Democratic National Convention,

you said you expected five seats, but that you wanted ten.
