On Friday’s edition of “The McLaughlin Group,” which was taped on Thursday, The Daily Beast’s Eleanor Clift reacted to the results in Congressional races by stating that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) erred “in not agreeing to some piecemeal package, some COVID relief. I think they got blamed for that.”

Clift said, “I haven’t decided whether Democrats underperformed at the Congressional level or Republicans overperformed. But I think Pelosi and Schumer made a mistake in not agreeing to some piecemeal package, some COVID relief. I think they got blamed for that.”
