Nancy Pelosi risks losing her job in the House of Representatives

– Nancy Pelosi does not even have a majority where she can be elected spokesperson again. Who would have guessed that this would be possible, says the chairman of the Republican National Convention Committee, Tom Emmer, to Fox News.

Today, the Democrats rule with 232 seats in the House of Representatives, against the Republicans’ 197.

Sharp downturn

Before the polls closed, the Democrats had hoped to increase the number of representatives. That’s not how it went. Instead, they seem to lose at least six seats. It is a sharp downturn for the Democrats, who were sure of victory in advance, writes USA Today.

It also means trouble for the Democrats and the leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, if she is to be able to gather the representatives for a majority in various matters. It can also trigger suggestions for other leadership candidates.

Republican leader Kevin McCarthy believes that the Democrats’ weakening and reduced majority could pose challenges for Pelosi, and reduce her chances of being re-elected as a spokesperson. He believes that from now on it will be significantly heavier for the Democrats to get through their proposals in the House of Representatives.

– I know someone did not vote for her

“I know there were some who did not vote for her last time,” Kevin McCarthy told Fox News.

The US House of Representatives is one of two chambers of the Federal Legislature, Congress. The name is often abbreviated to “The House”. It has 435 seats, which are distributed among the states of the United States according to the population, based on the censuses every 10 years.

Control of the Senate is also crucial for whoever is elected president. Even if Biden were to be declared the winner of the election, he must prepare to have to fight hard to get his policy passed in Congress.

The Senate consists of 100 senators, two from each state. In the Senate, Democrats currently have 47 seats against Republicans’ 53.

Referred to as «master strategist»

Before the polls closed, Nancy Pelosi stated that she was sure of a solid majority in the House of Representatives. The surprising loss of several high-profile candidates has raised questions about Speaker Pelosi’s position and her candidacy, writes the San Francisco Chronicle.

But despite many political storms and proposals for other candidates, she has so far stood firm in the party.

Pelosi is not directly responsible for the election campaign strategy, but she still has a great influence on the party’s path choices and has been hailed as a “champion strategist”.

She has repeatedly marked herself as a strong woman who has put President Donald Trump in place.

Republicans retain a majority in the Senate

Even in the Senate, the Democrats do not seem to have succeeded in changing the balance of power. According to the latest counts, it indicates that the Democrats will get two new candidates, but the Republicans thus still retain the majority.

Pelosi still says that she is happy to have retained power in the House of Representatives, even though it is now much smoother than before elected.

– Our campaigns for health services helped the Democrats to retain their majority, and the message was reinforced during the coronavirus pandemic. The purpose of this race was to win so that we could protect Obama’s health care reform, so that we could crush the virus, Pelosi said according to The Guardian.
