House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday she is completely sure that Tuesday’s midterm elections will give Democrats control of the House again.
“Yes I am,” Pelosi said when asked by a reporter if she was 100 percent sure. She said she is that confident because she’s listening closely to Democrats on the ground as they battle for votes.
“As I travel across the country, I listen to the VIPs: the volunteers in politics,” she said.
“Because of the quality of our candidates, which inspires a tremendous grassroots operation… I feel confident that we will win,” she said.

Pelosi said the only open question is how big a win Democrats will see tonight. She acknowledged there are many close races around the country, and said each could be decided by a relatively small margin.
But she said Democrats will at least win the House, and if enough wins pile up, they will build into a blue wave that could also turn into a “tsunami” if Democrats keep winning those close races.
