US EditionPelosi predicts Democrats will win back House in 2026
Pelosi, with about a year left in her term, aims to help Democrats regain the House and install Hakeem Jeffries as speaker to restore congressional power.
- On Dec. 28, 2025, Nancy Pelosi told ABC's Jonathan Karl she predicted Democrats will retake the House in 2026 with Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker.
- After announcing she won't run in 2026, Pelosi reflected on her career that began as one of only 23 women in the House and included shepherding the Affordable Care Act.
- Pelosi recalled Jan. 6, 2021 as 'absolutely' the darkest day of her speakership, noting Alexandra Pelosi filmed their Capitol evacuation featured in a 2022 HBO documentary.
- Legal developments since 2024 mean two federal cases tied to the Capitol attack were dismissed, Jack Smith filed motions citing presidential immunity, and Pelosi said House Democrats would use subpoena power and consider impeachment based on the president's actions.
- Pelosi argued that reclaiming the gavel means House Democrats must restore Congress's powers, which the Republican-led Congress has effectively handed to the president, and shift politics toward hope in the American people.
