Will Pelosi hurt Democrats during the midterms?

Former Hillary Clinton campaign adviser Joel Payne and former George W. Bush speechwriter Anneke Green on whether Senate Minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is hurting the Democratic Party.

Nine Democrats are running to vie for the seat being left open by retiring Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D., N.H.), but not one said they would vote to make House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) speaker next year.

Josh DiStaso of ABC affiliate WMUR asked the 1st Congressional District candidates if they would support Pelosi for House Speaker in the event they be elected and Democrats win back the majority in November. DiStaso received three "nos," four were "non-committal," and two candidates declined to respond.

Deaglan McEachern, Terence O’Rourke, and Mindi Messmer said Pelosi's time as party leader has passed.
