House Speaker Nancy Pelosi acknowledges a “challenging election” for Democrats in the House in a letter to her colleagues.
Pelosi predicts a Biden victory, saying, “The American people have made their choice clear at the ballot box, and are sending Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House.”
Biden looks likely to win, but has not secured a victory yet, as votes are still being counted in a number of battleground states.
Democrats in the House did not fare as well as they had hoped.
“Though it was a challenging election, all of our candidates — both Frontline and Red to Blue — made us proud,” Pelosi writes.
Democrats already controlled the House, and will almost certainly retain control, but look likely to lose several seats to Republicans.
Republicans will likely retain control of the Senate, which Democrats had hoped to flip.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
