Christine Pelosi, the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), listed where the Democratic Party failed in the 2016 elections in an interview Wednesday with Fox News host Neil Cavuto.
Pelosi is a member of the Electoral College from California and a Democrat.
Cavuto attempted multiple times to ask Pelosi if Hillary Clinton's message is why she lost the election last month. Pelosi said that an election loss cannot be attributed to one factor alone, adding that she had several issues from the beginning of the campaign. Pelosi eventually began to list the decisions that she felt hurt Democrats in 2016.
"Let's go back a year and a half ago. I thought that the Democratic National Committee officials who were trying to limit the number of presidential debates made a mistake, and I told them that several times," Pelosi said.
"The Democratic National Committee meeting in August 2015 when we were fighting to have a very robust economic message, including the "Fight for 15" resolution that I authored and that we passed," Pelosi continued. "I was hoping that we would have more opportunity to mobilize the grassroots around that message; instead that request fell on deaf ears."
Cavuto later tried again to get Pelosi to focus on mistakes made in the general election.
"I felt that once we had come out of the convention and done very well, I thought that what we needed to do was to have a more robust cooperation to help the down-ticket races," Pelosi said. "I would have liked to have seen that like everybody else."
"I think that more field, I should say everybody who is making calls to swing states, more phone calls, more presence by the candidate is better," she added.
