"I accept credit for winning the majority and holding the House," Pelosi told reporters during a Capitol Hill news conference Friday. The Democratic losses in the House were "just extraordinarily upsetting to all of us,” Ocasio-Cortez told one constituent. Warner argued that victories by progressive Democrats tend to come in districts that already have overwhelmingly progressive residents -- and less so in areas that are more ideologically diverse. Democrats were not only predicted to keep the House but they were expected to pick up seats, according to most political forecasters. So far, Democrats have lost at least eight seats in the House and failed to gain a single statehouse.
