On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had a lot to say about the recent elections held on Tuesday, in which Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin won the Virginia governorship and defeated Democrat contender Terry McAuliffe.
“But, it was not a good night, so let’s just not get away from that,” stated a visibly flustered Pelosi. She acknowledged when pressed that “it would have been better” if Democrats had voted on Biden’s $1.1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package before Tuesday as McAuliffe had been calling on Congress to do.
However, she declined to assess if House Democrats were partly to blame for the Democrat’s loss, saying she was awaiting more “data.”
