During a live interview at the Democratic National Convention, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stressed the importance of New York for the Democratic Party's control of the House in November, referencing past unexpected losses in competitive congressional races as a wake-up call.
Pelosi reflected on the previous gubernatorial race where Kathy Hochul's narrow victory was the worst showing for Democrats in two decades, emphasizing the need to recognize and address such setbacks in New York.
In a light-hearted moment, when asked about declining a dinner invitation from a Republican congressman, Pelosi humorously stated her preference for a simple dinner at home, while also reiterating her political intent to defeat him.
As speculation swirled around the identity of the congressman Pelosi jokingly slighted, Republican Mike Lawler, who represents a competitive district, responded firmly, stressing that he was confident in his interactions with her, rejecting any such comments about defeat.
