President Trump acknowledged a “probably tougher” path to retain GOP control of the House… injecting some political reality into his standard rhetoric that boasts of a “red wave” in November, the Washington Post reports.
Said Trump: “I think in the Senate, we’re doing really well… We’re going to win a lot of seats.” But, he added: “The House is probably tougher.”
“He blamed the internal House Republican conference rules that impose a six-year term limit on holding chairmanships, which Trump speculated was driving several veteran lawmakers out of office. Eight House GOP chairmen are retiring this year.”
