In all four special congressional elections that have taken place since Donald Trump's election, Republicans have used attack ads to portray Democratic candidates as allies of Pelosi.
Whether it's cultural arrogance, uninspirational policies or lousy candidates, Americans have been choosing Republicans to represent their districts over Democrats-despite the fact that members of the GOP are routinely mocked and laughed at in the mainstream media and on late-night television programs.

But Pelosi continues to command great loyalty from many in the House, and she insisted her position was not in jeopardy. "We don't agonize. We organize".
