Former Democrat Campaign Chairs Warn About Pelosi Losing House Majority in 2022
Several former Democratic campaign chairs have expressed concern over the possibility of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) losing the House majority in 2022.
Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), who led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in 2012 and 2014, told The New York Times that “the two biggest headaches of any cycle are redistricting and retirements, and when you have both in one cycle, it’s a migraine.”
Israel said that after the new districts are created and made official, candidates have to wait to see what district they will be trying to run in. “It’s like going to war on a battlefield, but you don’t know where you’re fighting, when you’re fighting, or who you’re fighting,” he explained.

“We’ve been in a tenuous position at best for the past two months we’ve been open,” said Joshua
Phillips, co-owner of Las Gemelas with partners Yesenia Neri Díaz and Rogelio Martinez, who are Mexican immigrants. “There’s definitely a lot of corners cut. There’s definitely some wages we were looking to increase within our team … some debt we need to pay off.”

Punchbowl News released a new tracking poll Thursday showing a majority of senior Capitol Hill aides believe the Republicans will regain the House in 2022.
An overwhelming majority (66 percent) believe the Republicans will reclaim the majority, thus ending House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) short four-year reign of trying to push through her radical, one-sided agenda.
This includes 36 percent of Democrats surveyed who also believe they will lose the House majority.
The survey was conducted anonymously between April 13 and 19 online, through Locust Street Group in partnership with Punchbowl News. The survey asked 171 senior Capitol Hill aides.
“Members of Congress are the ones with the election certificates, but, in many cases, their aides hold outsized power. Senior staffers are the gatekeepers and, in many cases, the decision-makers,” Punchbowl News said.
