On a caucus call, Pelosi is giving a positive assessment of the outcome of Tuesday's election, despite House Democratic losses that likely mean she will hold a smaller majority in the new Congress.

"We did not win every battle but we won the war," she said, per source

Pelosi told her caucus that Tuesday was a “big win” for the party. But she’s explaining the D losses by noting that 2020 was a more difficult cycle for some House Dems with Trump on ballot, particularly ones in deep red districts who in 2018 when Trump wasn't running, per sources

Rep. Cheri Bustos, who chairs DCCC and has faced criticism from Dems, blamed bad polling for the outcome and for the bullish predictions headed into election day, per two sources.

"Voters looked more like 2016 than projected," Bustos told Democrats.

Perdue wouldn't disclose his campaign events. But we found him in central Ga., where his supporters tried to stop us from asking him questions. He declined to explain why he wouldn't reveal his events, took a whack at Ossoff and wouldn't say if he regretted mocking Harris' name

In other race, Warnock has been largely unscathed though that will change when there’s a runoff. Rs showing no daylight with Trump. “I don't quibble,” Collins said when asked if he had any issues with Trump’s pandemic response. “I don't go back and forth with him on his response”

@alizaslav

With one poll showing him at 49%, Ossoff’s goal is to win it outright Tuesday, though many believe it will also end up in a runoff. That means the Senate majority could potentially be hanging in the balance for weeks if one or both races go into January. Story w/ @alizaslav

@arogDC

New - Months ago, McConnell made clear to Trump and others that GOP needed to unite behind one candidate in GA. Now, the Loeffler-Collins battle has turned into a race to the right, with GOP fears they’ll alienate swing voters in runoff. w/⁦@arogDC⁩ cnn.com/2020/10/16/pol…

“No one in Georgia cares about the QAnon business," Loeffler said after touting Marjorie Taylor Greene’s endorsement this week at a news conference.
A Georgia Republican strategist, not affiliated with either camp, said: “I think it's devastating to her in a runoff.”

@HolmesJosh

Asked about Collins, @HolmesJosh said: “In a difficult election cycle like this one, you really need candidates to avoid making selfish decisions that further complicate your party's ability to win. Clearly that didn't happen in Georgia."

New - Pelosi and Raskin to introduce bill creating a commission to review President’s health and fitness for office. This is what she was referring to when she referred to 25th Amendment. She’s having a press conference tomorrow

They're introducing a bill that appears to be based on what Raskin has proposed in the past.

In Raskin's previous bill, it would establish a bipartisan commission that would -- at the direction of Congress -- carry out a medical examination of the President

“to determine whether he is "mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office." The 11-member commission would be appointed by leaders of the House and Senate. The commission in his past bill would be required to report its findings to Congress.

New: In S.C., Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham says this morning that confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barett are “on track.” He said they are still going to start Oct. 12. He said he spoke this AM to Trump who was in “good spirits” and Trump asked about the hearings

“I talked to President Trump this morning. ... First thing I asked him about was the First Lady. She’s doing good. The President was in good spirits. The first thing he asked me is how’s the hearings going? I said we’re on track. We’re going to start October the 12th,” he said

Graham: “And we’re going to work hard to get this wonderful conservative young lady talented beyond belief, Amy Barrett, on the Supreme Court.”
