A senior political adviser to Donald Trump has voiced a sense of cautious optimism regarding the Republican Party’s chances heading into the upcoming midterm elections.
The adviser, speaking to The Hill, indicated that while there are challenges ahead, the party remains in a strong position to make gains.
This sentiment comes as both major parties begin to ramp up their strategies and fundraising efforts in anticipation of what is expected to be a competitive electoral cycle.
Fundraising is already ramping up, which means both sides expect this to be an expensive fight. The GOP just wants to keep their House majority.
Cautiously optimistic? That sounds like code for ‘we know we’re going to lose a few seats.’ History suggests midterm backlash is real.
