Pelosi says Dems would 'handily' win House if election were held today

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) expressed confidence on Monday that Democrats would easily win back the House if the midterm elections were held today.
“If the election were held today, the Democrats would handily win the House,†Pelosi said during a CNN political forum. “I can only speak in the present tense, because you never know in another couple of weeks… I’m telling you what would happen today.â€
“But we fully intend to own the ground, not yield one grain of sand, and get out the vote,†she added. “And that makes all the difference.â€
With just two weeks to go before Election Day, Democrats are feeling hopeful anti-Trump fervor and women energized by the “Me Too†movement will bring them back to power for the first time since 2010.
Democrats need to flip 23 seats to win control of the lower chamber, and the president’s party typically loses around 30 seats in the midterms.
