Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 'Our Democracy Is At Stake' In The 2022 Midterms - MSNBC (2 videos)



House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sits down with Andrea Mitchell for a wide ranging exclusive interview three weeks out from the 2022 midterm elections. Speaker Pelosi tells Mitchell, “Our democracy is at stake when you define democracy as integrity of the vote.” Republicans “want to suppress the vote - they’ve been doing that for a long time,” she explains. “They're even proposing that after an election if they don't like the results, they will change the rules that would have governed that election retroactively. So you have to recognize that they are undermining our democracy.” - Aired on 10/18/2022.

whatever they need to to get elected.

She could've easily listed the string of accomplishments she and Leader Schumer have helped Joe Biden sign into law...all of them seniors, btw, with decades of institutional knowledge that would walk out the door if they were forced out, but she just graciously said, just win, baby.

So smart.

She's never desperate, not even on January 6th, she took the problem in hand and did exactly what she knew needed to be done. I don't know what we'd do without her.

who is calling for resignations should be quiet, sit back, watch and learn.

Her time will come if she's worthy.
