On Wednesday, “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd predicted that Democrats “could” regain control of the House of Representatives, according to The Hill.
An Overview of Todd’s Statements
Todd sat down for an interview with the “Today Show” on Wednesday. He speculated about the potential “size” of Democratic midterm victories.
“This is why Democrats are now heavy favorites to take control of the House,” Todd said. “I think the question is, really, the size. Is it 30 seats, 40 seats, 50 seats? They have a night like this, like they did in Ohio, they could win 40 to 60 seats.”
More on Forthcoming Midterm Elections
Republicans and Democrats are both campaigning to emerge as the victors of the upcoming midterm elections. Despite Todd’s statements, many Republicans feel confident about their chances of winning in November.
President Donald Trump himself has congratulated various GOP candidates and lauded the Republican Party’s recent success on Twitter. Republicans have won eight out of 10 special House elections since Trump took office.
