Chris Wallace Looks Ahead to 2018 Midterms: ‘Going to Be a Tough Election for Republicans’

‘Obviously any effort of the president to pass his agenda would be put in jeopardy where Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats take back control of the House’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WALLACE: "Very. Look what happened in the Virginia governor’s race where you had what was supposed to be a very close race and ended up being a democratic blow-out. Look what happened in Alabama, which was supposed to be a reliably red state and the Democrat upsetting Roy Moore. There’s special circumstances with Moore. But you see a very energized democratic voter base, especially among suburban women, young people, minorities. This president, despite his accomplishments this week, with historically low favor ability ratings for this early in a presidency, Senate will be tough. There’s so many more seats. The Democrats are defending two dozen. The Republicans only eight. In the house, where the Republicans have a 24 seat majority, there’s talk reading today about maybe 40 seats swinging to Democrats. We’re an eternity away. It’s 11 months away. This is going to be a tough election for Republicans. Obviously any effort of the president to pass his agenda would be put in jeopardy where Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats take back control of the House."
