1. Which means

We are in charge on January 6!

[SheltieLover]

2. Yes!

[pandr32]

3. Speaker Jeffries

[louslobbs]

4. Oh please let that happen. It will help motivate

Me to do the laundry I’ve got piling up.

[Katcat]

23. Let's not get carried away there!

😂😂😂😂😂

5. Well, she's long been one hell of a vote-counter, so I'm going to take a little bit of confidence from that.

[Baltimike]

7. I was really heartened to hear it too nt

[calimary]

19. True. And she has a LONG record as a truth-teller.

If anybody's gonna have "the inside dope," SHE it would be.

[Quiet Em]

6. Nancy would know.

Yay!!!!!

[whttevrr]

8. Has Nancy Pelosi ever miscounted a vote?

Edit: That's a rhetorical/facetious question. She is an exceptionally prescient counter.

[2Legit]

9. Nobody can whip votes like the Speaker Emerita

Therefore, I give her the same respect in looking at data that we can't see to make that kind of prediction. She's not one to just pop off without inside knowledge.

20. Welcome to DU, 2Legit!

We longtime Pelosi fans know this to be true.

[bdamomma]

10. Wow

that's interesting.

[edisdead]

18. ?????

[Jackson jr]

11. Nancy knows

I trust Nancy. She is likely looking at the demography, and she understands how to interpret the polls

[calimary]

21. Welcome to DU, Jackson jr!

What a day to step up, 'eh? I'm with you. I trust Nancy, too. She's never given any of us any reason not to.

[Earthrise]

12. Nancy is the best when it comes to knowing her count -

[helpisontheway]

13. She seemed confident about that last night..

I hope we can hold the senate because of judges. 🤞

[City Lights]

14. I agree with her!

Let's go, Speaker Jeffries!

[nolabear]

15. And Nancy don't play.

I trust her not to say anything she doesn’t have good evidence to back.

[canetoad]

16. Nancy is to be trusted

What great news.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Nobody counts votes like Madame Speaker Emerta Pelosi!

[Hekate]

22. Nancy can count. It's always been one of her key skills.

Fingers crossed.

[Bluethroughu]

24. Please let it be true!

[Phormio]

25. Nancy Pelosi ...

…was probably “counting the votes” when she was instrumental in getting Joe to drop out of the race. Also probably strategized choosing Kamala as the candidate who could win.
I have no evidence, just spitballing, but she is a master strategist as well as “vote counter”…

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. Madame Speaker - your opinion on the Senate please!
