7:18Now PlayingWashington Democratic Representative Suzan DelBene said that Americans' anger about broken promises from the Trump administration is powering support for Democrats ahead of midterm elections as voters look for candidates who aren't going to be a 'rubber stamp' for Donald Trump. DelBene, who serves as chair of the DCCC, said that Democrats have 44 districts in play and are on 'offense' against Republican challengers.
President Donald Trump insisted Republicans have momentum in the upcoming midterm elections, even as the party faces a harsh electoral landscape and pressure from the White House over legislative priorities.
“We have a hot party,” Trump said Wednesday in an address to the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner at Washington’s Union Station.
GOP lawmakers confront mounting headwinds ahead of November midterm elections that will determine which party controls Congress for the last two years of Trump’s term.
Republicans have suffered a string of losses in off-cycle elections since Trump took office, with voters frustrated over the cost of living and his immigration policies. The latest of those came in Trump’s own backyard, as Democrats Tuesday took over the state legislative district in Florida that includes the president’s Mar-a-Lago club.
Democrats have grown increasingly bullish on their chances to retake the House of Representatives in the fall, buoyed by data that suggests voters have a slight inclination toward their party.
A Quinnipiac poll published Wednesday found that 51% of registered voters say they want to see the Democratic Party win control of the US House, compared to 40% who want to see Republicans keep their majority. Among independents, Democrats have an even stronger edge with 57% backing their party taking over the chamber, versus 26% for the GOP.
