Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicts Democrats will regain control of the House in 2026, backing Hakeem Jeffries as the next Speaker. She stated Jeffries is ready, respected, and capable of uniting the party. Pelosi criticized the current Republican-controlled Congress for yielding authority to President Trump, asserting Democrats would restore the institution's role upon regaining the majority. Her confidence is bolstered by historical midterm trends and signs of Republican division.
