(6 Nov 2018) House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi says the midterm elections are basically a referendum on Republican efforts to scrap Obamacare. The California Democrat says at a Tuesday morning press conference that the election is "about health care." Pelosi credits Democratic politicians and activists across the country with helping to fend off attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act following 2016 election results that left Republicans in control of Congress and the White House. Pelosi says that after 2016 Democrats "didn't agonize, we organized." She forecasts Democratic victories across the country, but with a small overall margin of victory. Pelosi says that as few as 25,000 votes nationwide could swing the results. Pelosi has remained noncommittal amid speculation that she would step aside to make way for new leadership, regardless of the election results.
