Pelosi, in a press conference Thursday, defended her leadership during the special election saying that she is "very confident" in the support of her caucus and said that while she respects the opinions of the members of her party, she won't be stepping down.
"Look, I think the Democratic Party has to come to terms with the fact that what we're doing isn't working", Moulton said.
"I'm a master legislator". My leadership is recognized by many around the country.
For her part, Pelosi argued that she and the Democratic leadership team have provided opportunities for the next generation of leaders and that younger members are involved in crafting party policy and messaging.
Several Democratic lawmakers have said Pelosi's position as a prominent face of the Democratic Party will continue to make winning elections hard. Republican Karen Handel beat Democrat Jon Ossoff by around 5 percentage points in the suburban Atlanta district previously represented by Tom Price, now the Health and Human Services secretary. "Many times I had not really wanted to run again, and (Democrats) called on me to do so". If the Democrats had raised the profile of the race, the GOP Congressional campaign committee would have responded with lots of money and surrogate campaigners.
(CNN) Democrats lost a special election for a congressional seat they have not held in decades, so some are calling for the head of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
At some point Democrats will need to start actually winning seats though, and if they can't do that, then all the money in the world won't matter. A group of her critics met Thursday in New York Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice's office, though it was not clear what if anything would come of it.

The authors of the NBER paper concluded that their data "provide. compelling evidence of a tax-induced migration response". Ronaldo has denied any wrongdoing, and Madrid issued a statement last week saying it believed the player was innocent.
"I think you'd have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top", said Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Tx.) to Politico on Wednesday.
On Thursday morning at her weekly briefing, Pelosi fielded several questions about calls for her to go. "The end result being the Republican base outperforming an energized Democratic Party voter turnout campaign".
"Because it's a classic Republican line".
Pelosi has been the target of campaign advertisements aimed at weakening the party's brand, including the recent special election in Georgia's 6th District. That drew criticism of Pelosi from fellow Democrats.
The California Democrat has always been a boogeywoman Republicans have used to motivate their base and to woo independents as the personification of liberal values and a reminder of why even if they may like their individual member or candidate, a vote for that Democrat would be a step toward putting Pelosi back in the speaker's chair. Rosen is a likely candidate for Senate against the most endangered GOP Senate incumbent, Dean Heller of Nevada. "Why should I?" Pelosi began. In a second interview featuring Lemon, he asks Representative Tim Ryan - who challenged Pelosi for the position of Minority Leader - if Pelosi is hurting Democrat's chances.
Pelosi, however, is insisting that she's "worth the trouble" as the party's leader in the House. Democrats may say the race should not have been that close, but the reality is spending that much money to drive out 100 percent of Democrats plus some anti-Trump Republicans cost them $30 million they now can not spend elsewhere.
Speaking of the 42nd president, many are the charges that can be laid at his feet, but contempt for half of all Americans was never one of them.
