Pelosi: GOP targeting me because I’m effective

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a recent interview that Republicans target her because she is “effective.”

“I take it as I’m effective,” Pelosi told The Associated Press. “I also happen to be, apart from anyone who’s running for president or been the presidential nominee, the biggest fundraiser in the country."

Pelosi also said House Democrats have both the political climate and fundraising to help them win the lower chamber in the upcoming midterm elections.

“This is not going to be big margins,” Pelosi told the news outlet. “It is going to be small margins in many places.”
