"Everything is at stake in this election. The Constitution of the United States, which the president is trying to usurp; the power of the legislative branch of government; the environment in which we live," she said.

Pelosi maintained that the GOP is "in denial about the assault on climate and the climate crisis, which is a health issue, a national security issue, an economic and jobs issue, and a moral issue to pass the planet on to the next generation in a responsible way."

The Democratic leader previously predicted that her party will have the 2020 House election locked down by November, a full year in advance.

"I intend to have this election won by this November, because by a year in advance, that's when people decide they're going to run for office. We want the message to be clear, we will retain the majority, we will grow the majority and will do so because our candidates are doing their constituent work," she said Monday while speaking at an event with the London School of Economics.
