Do you believe him or do you think its just bluster
The “blue wave” that Democrats hope to ride to midterm glory has ebbed to a blue trickle, gleeful Republicans say.
Buoyed by a surging economy and President Trump’s rising approval numbers, the long-expected tsunami of Democratic victories in this year’s congressional elections has all but evaporated, says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
The GOP could even pick up six or eight Senate seats, he told The Hill on Saturday, and has a chance to topple powerful Democratic incumbents like Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown — once in the running to be Hillary Clinton’s 2016 veep running mate and now said to be mulling a 2020 presidential run.
“I saw a survey within the last week in Ohio indicating that race is very competitive,” said McConnell. “I would certainly add Ohio to the list” of states where Democrats are suddenly vulnerable.
The party in the White House typically loses some seats in midterm elections — an average of 31 seats since 1976. And the figures are worse when the president has an approval rating under 50 percent, as Trump’s numbers have been.
