House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) celebrated Democrats taking back the House on Tuesday night, announcing that "thanks to you, tomorrow will be a new day in America."

Pelosi, who formerly served as House speaker from 2007 to 2011, stressed "we have all had enough of division," and vowed to seek "unity" and "bipartisan conversations" in the chamber. She notably did not mention impeachment, although it has been on the minds of some members of her party, and instead stuck to promoting health-care reforms, higher wages, and the dissuasion of "dark interest money" from politics.
