😱 Former GOP Speaker Kevin McCarthy on GOP Midterm Outlook: ā€œI’M WORRIEDā€

Reuters: Trump’s approval falls to ALL-TIME LOW

Kevin McCarthy is sounding the alarm bells on his party’s midterm outlook just 76 days from November 3rd.Ā 

McCarthy just did a masterclass onĀ Fox NewsĀ of how Republicans are going to lose the House: ā€œThe midterms right now,Ā I’m worriedĀ because the generic ballot’s over six, so that’s advantage to the Democrats.ā€

  • On Iowa: “I’m going to watch Iowa, I think, that governor’s race there […] but we have four congressional seats, when IĀ first came in, we only had one Republican one. They’re going to be some tough ones.”
  • On Pennsylvania: ā€œPennsylvania is going to be a swing state, Democrats have a very good governor who’ll probably try to run the tickets upā€¦ā€
  • On Arizona: ā€œI’m worried about Arizona because I don’t think the Republican nominee we have, Biggs, could cut across and get moderates and others… If he underperforms, he could cost us Congress’ majority.ā€Ā 

McCarthy’s comments come as a new Reuters poll shows Donald Trump at an ALL-TIME low approval rating. At the same time, Democrats are LEADING on who Americans trust more to handle cost of living concerns, 38% to 31%.Ā 

Real Clear Politics has Democrats upĀ 6.7% on the generic ballot.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
ā€œCorrupt House Republicans are going down in November. It’s gotten so bad, even Kevin McCarthy knows it.ā€
