Saturday on the New York Times’ podcast “The New Washington,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the chances Democrats take back the House in the 2018 midterm elections were “very excellent.” When asked why she stayed in her leadership role after President Donald Trump’s victory, Pelosi said, “I thought Hillary Clinton would win and we’d have a woman president and so there would be a woman not at a seat at the table, but at the head of the table for the world.” She continued, “We wanted to have a woman president. But when we didn’t, then I couldn’t walk away and say, OK, just let all the men have the seats at the table that are making decisions for our country.” When asked about the Democrats chance to take back the House in the 2018 midterms Pelosi replied, “Very excellent.” (h/t The Hill) Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN

Kasich: Roy Moore’s ‘Ludicrous,’ ‘Divisive’ Views Are Not the Future of the GOP
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said the comments of former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, who won the GOP primary runoff election for U.S. Senate. over Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL), were “ludicrous” and “divisive.” When asked if Moore represent the future of the Republican Party, Kasich said, “I certainly hope not! I mean, we have to look at his whole record and a number of the things that he said. But, look, Jake, there is a struggle for the soul of the Republican Party and the soul of the Democratic Party. We spend a lot of time talking about, you know, all the trouble in the Republican party. I have no idea what the Democrats are for. It is unbelievable, which is why polls are now beginning to show a support for independent candidacies, more than ever in our history. People are getting fed up with all of this kind of nonsense. And for me, what I’m trying to do is struggle for the soul of the Republican Party, the way that I see it. And I have a right to define it, but I’m not going to support people who are dividers
Mulvaney: Media Have Not Showed Federal Effort in Puerto Rico
White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that President Donald Trump’s frustration with the media over its coverage of Puerto Rico was due to news organizations not covering the ongoing “federal effort.” In an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” Mulvaney said while the media have done a successful job of covering the current state of Puerto Rico’s population, which has largely been without power and water, it is not covering the government’s response. “What you’ve not shown, however, is the federal effort that we’ve got in place down there,” Mulvaney said when asked about Trump’s tweet urging those in Puerto Rico not to “believe the #fakenews.” “So I think that’s where the president’s pushback is.” To the people of Puerto Rico:Do not believe the #FakeNews!#PRStrong🇵🇷 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017 ……#FakeNews critics are working overtime, but we’re getting great marks from the people that truly matter! #PRStrong🇵🇷 — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017 Mulvaney added that the recovery effort for the island “was always going to be harder,” noting its distance from the mainland United States.

Kasich: Trump’s Puerto Rico Tweets ‘Not Appropriate, ‘You Have to be Bigger Than the Nonsense’
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said President Donald Trump’s tweets about the response to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria were “not appropriate.” Kasich said, “Well, it’s not appropriate. When people are in the middle of a disaster, you don’t start trying to criticize them. I don’t know what to say. It’s just not the way that I think it ought to be handled. It’s not the way that we handle disasters here. I mean, they’re challenging. You have to get it right. And we’ve watched people who were leaders, I think, Governor Scott down in Florida did a terrific job warning. You just don’t get into who’s bad or who’s good, no matter what they say. You have to ignore it and be bigger than the nonsense.” Follow Pam Key on Twitter @pamkeyNEN
