Obama to Deliver Post Election Speech After Pelosi Loses Speaker Spot
Today at approximately 1 PM EDT President Barack Obama will address the nation in a post election speech. Obama is expected to try and unite the country after his Democratic party suffered massive losses in both the House of Representatives and Senate yesterday. As final election results continue to pour in, it is very clear that the House of Representatives will now be controlled by a Republican majority. This means that Obama’s Democratic partner, Nancy Pelosi will no longer serve as the Speaker of the House.
In the Senate, Democrats also lost a ton of seats, however they will still hold a slim majority among Senators. It should be interesting to see what exactly Obama will say to American’s in a speech that the President likely is not looking forward to giving. The final two years of Obama’s first term will certainly be a difficult one, likely having several bills stuck in gridlock. Nancy Pelosi will likely be replaced by John Boehner as the Speaker, however the Senate majority leader’s seat will remain in the hands of Democrat Harry Reid.
