In stunning turn of events, with ongoing vote counting in congressional races, it appears that Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic majority could be as slim as 7 votes.
The Federalist’s Ben Domenech breaks down Pelosi’s epic defeat in this series of tweets:
If Republicans win out in the House races where they currently lead, Nancy Pelosi will only be able to lose 3 votes on anything. She will currently only be able to lose a maximum 7 votes.

With the latest developments in uncalled races, looking increasingly like a 222 D – 213 R split in the House. Absolutely incredible outcome that none of the polling experts predicted where Nancy Pelosi can only afford to lose 4 votes on anything.

In addition, please note any crow eating on the part of network Decision Desks, since all of them, *all of them*, projected Nancy Pelosi's House majority would increase. I am unaware of any of them apologizing to their viewers for being utterly wrong at the one job they have.

Nancy Pelosi made the most consequential legislative decision of 2020. By negotiating in bad faith, never intending to pass a pre-election stimulus, she likely doomed President Trump. But she also straight up murdered her moderates, leading to this red wave.

If Pelosi hasn’t already lost the speakership, as minority leader Kevin McCarthy believes, she’s definitely lost any chance she has of passing radical legislation in the house.
She’s a spent force politically, whether her end comes during the race for Speaker, or later after a series of humiliating failures on the floor of the House.

It would be good for America if Nancy Pelosi loses the speakership1.
