Pelosi was chatting with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about Slotkin's remarks on needing "new blood" amid the former's hopes for reelection.

Slotkin recently made her plea during an appearance on Meet the Press, arguing that new leadership could set the tone for more progress.

Slotkin said she supported Biden's reelection if that comes to fruition, also noting she is "one of a handful of members" who has not voted for Pelosi as speaker.

In response, Pelosi appeared to remain unperturbed by Slotkin's remarks.

"I say, just win, baby. Just win. If that's what you have to say to win, fine. We will not, in any way, do anything but totally support mobilization-wise, message-wise, money-wise, for those people to win their races," she explained to Mitchell.
