"The biggest winner yesterday was health care for the American people, for our seniors, and for American families," Pelosi said. While President Trump and Republicans had pivoted to focusing on immigration in the final weeks of the campaign, Democrats stuck firmly to health care-related talking points. "We won because from the beginning we focused on health care," she said.
Pelosi – who could again be speaker of the House – told supporters in Washington late Tuesday that Democrats would use their majority to focus on issues like health care and draining the "swamp" of special interests and dark money. She did not focus on potential Democratic investigations of President Trump and instead struck a bipartisan note.
Though Democrats would provide new checks and balances on Mr. Trump, Pelosi promised to strive for bipartisanship and work with Republicans to "lower the cost of health care, of prescription drugs, raise wages, and clean up corruption to work for all Americans."
"We have all had enough of division," she said Tuesday night. "Americans want peace. They want results."
This is a developing story and will be updated.
