“Nancy Pelosi is declaring victory in the battle for the House.”

It’s not Shadenfreud. It’s telegraphing that the Democrats have this in the bag and there is no need to spend more money. It’s a classic Obama move as in 2012. When he debated Romney he basically phoned it in. Pelosi is doing the same thing.

Correct. It is FREUDENSCHADE, i.e. prematurely celebrating a victory. And for that hubris, considered a grave sin in ancient Greece, the gods will punish.
