Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had a message for her party’s midterm candidates who have campaigned on removing her from House leadership: “Just win, baby.”

The top House Democrat on Tuesday brushed off concerns about several 2018 candidates telling constituents that they do not support her as leader, telling Politico Playbook: “I think if they have to do that to win the election, I’m all for winning.”

She continued: “I think many of them are saying we need new leadership. I don’t take offense at that.”

Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA), who won in a shocking upset earlier this year in a gerrymandered district President Trump won by almost 20 points, often said on the trail that he would be supportive of new Democratic leadership. Despite that, Republican outside groups still attempted to tie him to Pelosi, who they view as a drag on all Democratic candidates this cycle.

1. I love these strong, tough women.

I don't know how they take all the guff they do, after all their accomplishments. But responses like this makes me love them all the more.

2. Man, she is so smart and clever.

I trust her and know her leadership will continue to be strong.
