In an interview with the New York Times, Pelosi recalled that she feared that the results of a tight mid-term election would prompt Trump to attempt to compromise the protection of her majority in the GOP at within the lower chamber.

"If we win four seats and a thousand votes each, he will not respect the elections," she said, remembering to think about the 2018 election,

"It would poison the public's mind. He would challenge every race; he would say you can not get those people to sit, "the president said, according to the Times. "We had to win. Imagine if we did not win – oh, do not even imagine. So as we move forward, we need to take the same approach. "

Pelosi told the Times that she feared the same thing would happen in 2020 if Democrats were not able to defeat Trump at the polls by a wide margin.

"We have to vaccinate against that, we have to prepare for it," she said.

Pelosi positioned the 2020 elections as a major test for Democrats and said that the rule of law in the United States was at stake in the November elections. Despite calls by the Democrats to support the House's efforts to initiate impeachment proceedings against the President, the Speaker remained firm on the fact that Trump should be defeated by the voters.

"Everything is at stake in this election: the US Constitution, which the president is trying to usurp, the power of the legislative branch of government, the environment in which we live", she said in an interview with CNN last month.
