Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in an interview that she “fear[s] for our democracy” if Republicans take control of the House, which they are highly expected to do.

“It is absolutely essential for our democracy that we win. I fear for our democracy if the Republicans were ever to get the gavel,” Pelosi told Time magazine. “We can’t let that happen.”
