RNC Chair: ‘I Feel Like We Can Still Keep’ the GOP Majority in the House

‘Democrat enthusiasm is definitely there’

MCDANIEL: “It’s tight, George. It’s tight. It’s going to depend on voter turnout on election day. Democrat enthusiasm is definitely there. We are seeing that in the early voting, in all of these key House and Senate races and Republicans have been matching. So literally election day voting is going to determine the balance of the House. I’d say there’s about 27 seats within the margin of error. Obviously we have had headwinds with 44 retirements and historical trends on the House, but I feel like we can still keep that majority and then the Senate is a better map. And if we keep the Senate, that will be defying history as well, because usually you lose three seats in that first term of a first term president.”
