In 2018, Pelosi promised seven House Democrats she would back "term limits for the top three Democratic leaders" so she could get the votes to make her Speaker of the House. The promise meant Pelosi could not remain Speaker after 2022. Oh, look. Pelosi is likely breaking...

Republicans are expected to retake control of the House of Representatives in 2022, and some Democrats are not hanging around to see it happen. Republicans only need to take a handful of seats in 2022. The optics of these retirements are terrible for Pelosi's slim House majority and the Biden administration.

The 2022 midterm elections are still over a year away and a lot can happen between now and then. Democrats are already sounding the alarm to each other. Naturally, they are not talking about changing anything on a policy level. They're just concerned about their messaging.

Democrat Melanie Stansbury won the special election for New Mexico's 1st Congressional District. However, Republican Mark Moores made a play for the seat in this deep-blue district by attacking Democrats on rising crime. Democrats may have won, but this race made them nervous.

When some Republicans objected to the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, Democrats called it a threat to democracy. Woke corporations fell in line and shut off donations to the GOP. Now that Democrats are trying to overturn a certified House race in Iowa, Mitch McConnell and Republicans in the Senate are demanding an equal reaction.

Parler was made a scapegoat for the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill Riot.

Questioning the outcome of the 2020 election is forbidden unless you're a Democrat. Just six votes decided the race for Iowa's 2nd District, and Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks won. Democrat candidate Rita Hart appealed directly to the Democrat-controlled House, and now, weeks later, they are actually considering measures that would reverse the outcome.

In Iowa's 2nd district, the race between Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Rita Hart came down to just six votes in favor of Miller-Meeks, who declared victory. Days later, Hart appealed directly to the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. She basically wanted Nancy Pelosi to overrule the election and seat her instead of Miller-Meeks.
