Pelosi reflects on career and predicts victory for Democrats

Season 2026 Episode 224 | 7m 22s

The political environment this year is often compared to the midterms of 2006, when Democrats won back control of Congress.

She joined Amna Nawaz to discuss her time in office and what to expect on election night.
