There's a lot more to discuss with you, including the year ahead and your incredible legacy in Congress.
We'll be right back.
We are back with House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
So many things to ask you about, but you know what it's like to be in charge of a caucus when there's a slim majority.
It's looking like, as of this moment, you know, unfortunately, there was a Doug LaMalfa of California lost his life.
An Indiana Republican, Congressman Jim Barrett, suffered a serious accident.
So right now, it looks like Speaker Mike Johnson has a one seat majority currently for now.
Very small.
What do you see as the impact of that?
What are the challenges as you look to how Congress is going to run over the next year?
You have been kind of a driver of making sure Democrats and others are talking about what they're doing and that people are paying attention to it, whether it's fighting for affordable health care and the extension of these Obamacare tax credits or many other things that are on the Democratic agenda.
There has been, I don't know if you saw this, Trump said today that if Democrats win back, win in the midterms, they'll find a way to impeach him.
First of all, impeachment is about what the president does.
It has nothing to do with politics.
But you've been through two that had good reason.
Do you think he has reason to be worried?
And do you think pursuing an impeachment, even if it's warranted, is worth Democrats' time?
Certainly doesn't seem like a campaign slogan.
I remember very distinctly the day you got the gavel.
I was there.
