A prominent newspaper in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's, D-Calif., home state of California demanded she publicly declares she will not seek to become House speaker should Democrats sweep to power in November's midterm elections. "The Republican Party is now clearly the party of Donald Trump," the Sacramento Bee's editorial board wrote Wednesday. "The Democratic Party cannot be seen as the party of Nancy Pelosi and win in November." The editorial continued, "To retake control of the House, Democrats need to gain at least 23 seats in November. That’s no easy task. And it’s even more difficult now that Pelosi’s future has become a distracting campaign issue for Democrats in key swing districts, where they need moderate and even Republican votes to win."
