House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) argued that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) loss to a little-known primary challenger showed that it’s a “whole new ballgame” in the 2014 midterm elections.
Here’s Pelosi’s statement below:
The American people should take notice. Tonight, the Tea Party defeated Republican Leader Eric Cantor who is one of the most extreme Members of Congress.
Eric Cantor has long been the face of House Republicans’ extreme policies, debilitating dysfunction and manufactured crises. Tonight, is a major victory for the Tea Party as they yet again pull the Republican Party further to the radical right.
As far as the midterms elections are concerned, it’s a whole new ballgame.
