Peter King on the Midterms: First of All, if You Panic, You Shouldn’t Be in Politics

‘I’m not kidding myself here, these are going to be tough races’

EXCERPT:

WELKER: "Well congressman, while you talk about potentially picking up a seat or two, 'The Cook Political Report' has a very different view. In addition to what we saw in Ohio this past week, that special election where Republicans barely held on to a ruby red seat, 'Cook Political Report' says 62 seats are toss-up races or up for grabs. And by the way, Democrats just need 23 seats to take the House. So, is it time for Republicans to start panicking?"
KING: "No. First of all, you should never panic, if you panic, you shouldn’t be in politics. But secondly, I remember going back to October of 2016, November, publications like 'The New York Times' were saying this could be a disastrous defeat for the entire Republican Party. Well in the end President Trump was elected and Republicans took the Senate."
