Hillary Clinton Reassures House Democrats 2016 Is Not Just About Her
It’s also about taking back Congress.

Democrats’ numbers in the House have continually fallen since the chamber flipped six years ago. This year more than ever, however, they’re hopeful that will change — thanks, in large part, to presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“We’re going to win this election,” Clinton told reporters as she emerged from the meeting beside House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “We’re going to take back the House and the Senate.”
Clinton didn’t stop to answer any questions from press, but at least a dozen members of Congress told The Huffington Post she thinks the House is within reach. (The chances of that are slim, as Republicans hold their largest majority since 1928.)
“She said that ‘I know the difference between having the House and not having the House, and I want the House so I’m going to do everything I can to help,’” Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) said.
