Pelosi brags Democrats defied history and pundits with midterms success

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Democrats defied history and those who doubted their messaging after the party clinched a majority in the Senate and secured more seats than expected in the House.

Democrats are guaranteed the majority in the Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris as tiebreaker, after Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto was projected to win reelection against Republican Adam Laxalt on Saturday. The House is still up in the air, but Democrats have flipped seats that were expected to go the Republicans' way.

Pelosi said in an interview on ABC News's This Week with George Stephanopoulos that overall, Democrats had a different and positive approach to the midterm elections. Historically, the party occupying the White House expects to lose a considerable number of seats in Congress.
