Nancy Pelosi’s math problem in a Speaker vote

By Melanie Zanona,Lisa Hagen and Mike Lillis - 11/07/18 02:40 PM EST 

Nancy Pelosi has a puzzle to solve as she embarks on her quest to reclaim the Speaker’s gavel.

A dozen Democratic candidates who have been critical of the California Democrat won election to Congress on Tuesday night, while another 12 incumbents have vowed to oppose Pelosi’s bid to lead the conference.

That’s a problem for Pelosi, who can’t afford more than a dozen Democrats voting against her in a public floor vote for Speaker.

Democrats are likely to have just a 10 to 15-seat majority after the midterms once a handful of contested races are determined.

Yeah, it may be for the best.  Nancy really needs to go home ... or to a home.
