According to\u00a0AP<\/em>‘s Erica Werner,\u00a0Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger was reportedly the most vocal<\/strong>\u00a0– reportedly complaining that “we lost races we shouldn\u2019t have lost.\u00a0Defund police almost cost me my race because of an attack ad<\/strong>.\u00a0Don\u2019t say socialism ever again<\/strong>,”\u00a0yelling\u00a0<\/em>that the party needs to “get back to basics.”<\/p>\n House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly interjected – saying that they “won the House and the presidency.”<\/p>\n According to\u00a0The Hill<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0centrist Democrats are now talking about throwing their support behind a challenger to Pelosi<\/strong>, with two prominent Democrats telling the outlet that\u00a0they are reaching out to their colleagues about backing Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to take Pelosi’s place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “He\u2019s the only one prepared and positioned” to become speaker, one of them said. ” He bridges moderates and progressives better than anyone. And most importantly, he\u2019s not Nancy Pelosi.”<\/p>\n Jeffries immediately ‘shot down’ the idea, saying that he’s focused on keeping his spot as one of Pelosi’s top lieutenants.<\/p>\n Heading into the polls, Pelosi enjoyed the overwhelming support of her caucus \u2014 facing no threat of a Speakership challenge \u2014 and Democratic leaders were eyeing big gains to their majority, with some estimates in the double digits.<\/p>\n But the early returns revealed a different reality:\u00a0Not only did Democrats lose a number of their most vulnerable members, they had not picked off a single Republican incumbent heading into Wednesday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n The results immediately emboldened Republican leaders<\/strong>, who accused Pelosi and her party of being out of touch with the country. And Democrats on and off of Capitol Hill were left licking their wounds and questioning the strategic decisions that guided their party’s message throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cPelosi needed to hammer Trump but instead she chose to let him slide<\/strong>,\u201d said one former senior Democratic aide. \u201cLast night should have been a bloodbath for Republicans.\u201d\u00a0–<\/em>The Hill<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Perhaps Democrats should have mentioned their crowning achievement – Trump’s impeachment – even\u00a0once<\/em>\u00a0during the election. Instead they mysteriously swept it under the rug.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/pelosi%20hand%201_0.jpg?itok=04a42J6y\")
