Mariannette Miller-Meeks beat Hart in Iowa\u2019s 2nd district race by six votes. However, Hart challenged the results, arguing she would have won if votes that were deemed illegitimate were not throw out.<\/p>\n<p>Despite concerns from moderate Democrats about her involvement in the race, Pelosi maintained it\u2019s within her authority.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Pelosi argues she\u2019s not obligated to seat certified election winner: If I wanted to be unfair I wouldnt have seated the Rep from Iowa because that was my right on the opening day. I would have just said, you\u2019re not seated, and that would have been my right as Speaker to do. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IA02?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IA02<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QSEXG0Wrvl\">pic.twitter.com\/QSEXG0Wrvl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mike Berg (@MikeKBerg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MikeKBerg\/status\/1375182419800829956?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNow if I wanted to be unfair, I wouldn\u2019t have seated the Republican from Iowa,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cThat was my right on the opening day. I would\u2019ve just said \u2018you\u2019re not seated,\u2019 and that would\u2019ve been my right as Speaker to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some House Democrats are reportedly warning Pelosi against trying to overturn the results of the race, noting it was certified by the state. They\u2019re concerned the move would come off as hypocritical, after slamming Republicans for raising concerns of voter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gao-advances-probe-into-biden-over-border-funds-freeze\/\"> GAO Advances Probe Into Biden Over Border Funds Freeze<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spoke during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, March 19, 2021.
