House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) forecasted Democrats would take back the House in the 2026 midterm elections, railing against congressional Republicans for following what President Donald Trump “insists that they do.”

Pelosi, the first female House speaker, announced she would not seek reelection to Congress in November, but with about a year left in the lower chamber, Pelosi told ABC News’s Jonathan Karl that she will work to crown House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as the next speaker.
