The key to victory, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, is policies that appeal to the political mainstream.
School safety The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting nearly two years ago exposed failures of two 1970s-era federal laws, but Pelosi said Congress should proceed cautiously with any changes.
Pelosi said she's close to the issue: One of her five kids is a special education teacher; another is married to one.
Pelosi said background checks for gun buyers would be more effective than an assault weapons ban.
"People say, 'Oh, we should have an assault weapons ban.' Yeah, but more lives will be saved if we just make sure guns, including assault weapons, are kept out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them." Health policy Health care is a central issue for voters, Pelosi said, touting a House plan to lower prescription drug prices.
There are "Many, many questions" surrounding Trump's proposal, Pelosi said.
Pelosi said the House has passed legislation to allow temporary protected status, under which Venezuelans could legally stay and work in the U.S. It's stalled in the Senate, and has frequently been a subject of dispute between Florida Democrats and Republicans.
