Getting Out of Town Fast: Pelosi to Take Refuge from Red Wave in Egypt, Report
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly plans to travel to Egypt on Wednesday after the midterm elections, according to Punchbowl News.
Pelosi is planning to attend the COP27 climate conference in Sharm El Sheikh, a luxury resort town in Egypt, Punchbowl reported.
Democrats are expected to lose their majority in the House of Representatives in a “red wave” on Tuesday as Republicans potentially gain between 12 and 25 seats, according to a Cook Political Report analysis.
Should Republicans take a House majority, Pelosi would no longer be speaker.
