Pelosi: 23 Seats Was a ‘Wave’ When You Talk About Gerrymandered Districts

‘When you talk about the gerrymandered climate territory that we had to contend with’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “I don’t think there’s symmetry here. I think that taking back the house, you have to remember, when people — when people ask for a wave, 23 votes was a wave, when you talk about the gerrymandered climate territory that we had to contend with. Very gerrymandered. See how many we will win when the votes are finalized. That was big. Don’t forget the governors. The house, the Democrats, proud of what we did, our chairman magnificent. That was our responsibility and get the gavel for the balance of power. People, authority in the Constitution. If they — if the president wants to take heart and think there was something similar between our victory and his let him think that. But the fact is that — that — that — that the demographics of who vote, the number of people who voted, brilliant future for the Democrats. That was spelled out yesterday. And the Senate. Now the advantage they had with other tough races, they had that disadvantage next time in a presidential year.”
