Special Election For South Carolina House Seat
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on reactions to Tuesday's congressional election in Georgia (all times EDT):
4:45 p.m.
The House Democratic leader is seeking to reassure Democrats dejected after a loss in a Georgia special election where the party invested millions of dollars.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California says in a letter to colleagues Wednesday that when President Donald Trump nominated House members to serve in his administration, he chose them from Republican districts the party knew it could win.
She says Democrats "gave them a run for their money in all of them."
Pelosi insists Democrats still have a shot at winning the majority in next year's midterm elections, saying, "The House remains in play now."
Democrats came close but still lost in special elections in Kansas, Montana, Georgia and South Carolina.
Pelosi says the Democratic base is energized, adding, "We must now put forth our message."
