Pelosi predicts Hakeem Jeffries will become Speaker after 2026 midterms
In a December 18, 2025 interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed confidence that Democrats would retake control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, predicting Hakeem Jeffries would become Speaker. Pelosi, who announced her retirement from Congress in November 2025 after serving since 1987, reflected on her historic career including becoming the first female Speaker in 2007 and passing the Affordable Care Act. She criticized the current Republican-led Congress for 'abolishing' its powers by following President Trump's agenda, and discussed her viral moment tearing up Trump's 2020 State of the Union address. Pelosi called January 6, 2021 'the darkest day of her speakership,' describing how Trump 'incited an insurrection' but has 'rewritten history' about the attack. She emphasized Democrats must 'reclaim Congress' powers and restore faith in governance.
