AP’s Pace: It’s a ‘Big Cloud’ over the White House If Dems Take the House

RUSH EXCERPT:

PACE: “The question about the wave, I think they’ve been able to blunt that on the Senate side. Coming out of labor day, it looks like the Senate races that should be a pretty comfortable for Republicans were getting closer. That seems to shift and now the Senate is leaning more toward Republican. This question about what happens if Democrats take the house, is a big cloud over this White House. Democrats will have subpoena power. They will be launching as they already said, a whole raft of investigations. Not just intimate what Bob Mueller has been looking at. Trumps taxes. Financial dealings of other people in the administration in the cabinet. This is something that would dominate 2019 for the president. Particularly because he hasn’t done a good job of laying out what his legislative agenda would be in a divided government. He has ideas on infrastructure and criminal justice reform but there’s nothing really proactive that he’s pushing. The White House, because they are understaffed, they don’t have the infrastructure in place to deal with a lot of democratic investigations.”
