Neil Cavuto and his guest commentators took a look at Republicans chances in the upcoming Senate and House of Representatives and came to the same conclusion.
Generally, whoever lost the presidency makes major gains in the midterm. Reid Wilson of The Hill writes:
Since World War II, an incumbent president’s party has lost an average of 334 state legislative seats in midterm elections, according to data compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures. A president’s party loses even more seats — an average of 357 — in the first midterm after his election.
A president’s party has picked up legislative seats in a midterm only once since the Great Depression: in 2002, just more than a year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, when President George W. Bush was riding high in the polls. Republicans gained a net of 177 seats.
However, nothing had been conventional about this election cycle. Though the mainstream media has largely ignored our robust economy and real changes have been made in how America does business, Donald Trump continues to get his message out to his core that voted for him in 2016.
Watch the video as Cavuto breaks this all down and explains why the upcoming elections are almost impossible to call. Hopeful Democrats have shattered spending records in hopes to take back state and national seats. This discussion offers insight into if that will pay off.
