In the 2022 U.S. midterm elections (two years from this Dec 2020 recording), Republicans will win back the majority in the House of Representatives and Nancy Pelosi will cease to be Speaker as a result.
They did win the they did... The Republicans won like 10 or 12 seats in the House. They've almost got the majority back in the House. They almost certainly will win back the House and retire Nancy Pelosi in two years during the midterm election. I'll put money on that right now.View on YouTube
Explanation
Assessment
The prediction was that in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, Republicans would:
- Win back the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, and
- As a result, Nancy Pelosi would cease to be Speaker of the House.
What actually happened
- In the November 8, 2022 midterm elections, the Republican Party won a majority of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives for the 118th Congress.
- Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, had been Speaker of the House in the 116th and 117th Congresses. After Republicans gained the majority, she did not stand for the speakership in the 118th Congress and was succeeded by Republican Kevin McCarthy, who was elected Speaker on January 7, 2023.
- Therefore, as a consequence of Republicans winning the House, Pelosi ceased to be Speaker.
Conclusion Both specific elements of the prediction came true: Republicans won back the House majority in the 2022 midterms, and Nancy Pelosi stopped being Speaker as a result. Thus the prediction is right.
