Pelosi says Republican’s ‘red wave’ turned into a ‘little, tiny trickle’

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, speaks to the media during the UNFCCC COP27 climate conference on November 11, 2022 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

Nancy Pelosi said Democrats have not given up in the battle for control of the House of Representatives.

She told ABC that regardless of the outcome, the country is on the path to a better place.

Once all uncalled races are settled, NBC believes Republicans could win more than 200 House seats, while Democrats could win more than 200. There is a margin of error of four seats.

NBC News projected Saturday that Democrats held their razor-thin majority in the US Senate, staving off a full-bore effort by Republicans to control the upper chamber of Congress.

Republicans expected a "red wave" to wash Democrats out of their majority in the legislature.

Pelosi, a Democrat who is second in the line of presidential succession, told CNN that she didn't think the red wave would turn into a trickle.

According to Pelosi, voters were swayed by the GOP response to the attack on her husband.

A California man, David DePape, broke into the couple's San Francisco home, wielded a hammer and was prepared to break Nancy Pelosi's kneecaps.

Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the break-in, but her husband Paul was left with a skull fracture and serious injuries.

Many members of Congress expressed their support and well wishes to the couple, but several Republicans shared misinformation about the attack. The congressman suggested that the attacker was a nudist male prostitutes.

The trauma of the attack was intensified by the Republicans' "ridiculous, disrespectful attitude," Pelosi told CNN.

She told CNN that it wasn't just the attack that was "disgraceful".

The federal crimes of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on an immediate family member of a US official were committed by DePape. He has denied the charges.
