WASHINGTON - The two top-ranking Democrats indicated Tuesday that their confidence is growing that their party will retake the House majority in November's midterm elections, as a new Washington Post-ABC News poll showed voters turning sharply against congressional Republicans.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sent a letter telling colleagues on Tuesday that Democrats "must Be Ready for the prospect that we will be in the Majority in January."
Pelosi said that the top Democrats on House committees will write bills reflecting the party's "For the People" campaign agenda, with an emphasis on reining in health care coats, raising wages and cleaning up corruption in Washington.
The letter came the same day Pelosi said in a NPR interview that she has "every confidence" that Democrats will reclaim the House. "Not because I'm taking anything for granted, but because we're not yielding one grain of sand," she said.

You are assuming the GOPe WANTS to keep the House. What they want is Trump gone, their Chinese paymasters protected from fair trade, and the borders kept wide open forever.
The Democrat Thug Party feels emboldened after scaring Kavanaughs little girls.
Nancy Pelosi on 2016 “Take it to the bank, Donald Trump will never be President” lol
Pelosi said that the top Democrats on House committees will write bills reflecting the party’s “For the People” campaign agenda, with an emphasis on reining in health care coats, raising wages and cleaning up corruption in Washington.
Odd wording.
So they are going to corral coats for some reason and restrict wage increases?
And the cleaning up corruption in Washington.
I’ll settle for reducing my living expenses, while increasing my opportunities for income increases.
They better win because if they don’t, they will all be looking for a job, sorta.
Fake news
The current suicide the Democrats are committin in the Senate hearings is prima fascia proof they know they are going to lose and on losing there is the wrath of Trump and hell to pay.
A thread like this is BS. Pelosi and Schumer said Hillary would win. Why take up digital space with this stuff?
SF Gate and the Hill say we’re doomed.
oh well. life is over.
Here's a tip of the hat, pulling for the same results!
Feelings versus reality. I think I know which one will take place in the space-time continuum the world experiences.
If we get complacent, the Dems WILL be right.
Much of the GOPe would love to see the Dems get the majority as it would be played up as a repudiation of Trump.
So, the GOP swamp people will sit on their hands and wallets and leave it up to us to save the USA from the nightmare of a socialist majority this November.
For cryin' out loud, VOTE people.
How many voting machines have they pre-programmed in swing districts to match their Fake Voter Registration numbers?
People who trust democrats then to buy bridges too.
The RNC says it has increased the 2016 ground game by 4x.
Trump’s support has been successful in all but one special election and it has put his picks on the ballot after the primaries. Rallies planned in every vulnerable District.
IMO, most of our GOTV is being accomplished by the D’s behavior.
Hispanics back Trump 54% according to Quinnipiac, not a GOP poll.
Blacks back Trump 35% according to Rasmussan (no longer a GOP-owned polling company).
Voter ID in more states.
Arrests for illegal voting being publicized.
Illegals being deported.
If illegals are declining benefits in fear of never being able to apply for citizenship, will they risk voting?
Close special elections are not being decided by *found* ballots.(ex: Ohio)
Even for those who find Trump *offensive*, can they find Democrats attractive, given recent behavior?
All polls showing a blue wave to retake the House are eventually revealed to be full of sauce.
They are not going to like their next shock treatment.
good. let them get over-confident ... i think they’re gonna be shocked, just like they were in 2016 ...
I don’t think there is ONE complacent person left in the USA.
Chicken. Counting. Hatched.
The alternative being Speaker of the House who?
The difference is that in 2016, Hillary was confident that the polls were correct and thought she could coast to the finish line. Trump, on the other hand, fought right through the very end, scraping and clawing for every last vote.
This year, it's the Democrats scraping and clawing for every last vote while Republicans, confident that the polls are again wrong are complacent. "Don't worry about it!" they tell us. "All the polls in 2016 said Hillary would win!"
