Top Republicans See Likely Democratic Takeover

Mike Allen: “Hill sources tell us that a House Democratic takeover is now likely.”

“One strategist close to Republican leaders believes that a loss of the House is ‘baked in,’ and said top Republicans don’t see a way to avoid it.”

“It would take a flip of 24 seats for Dems to take over. The average loss for the president’s party in his first midterm is about 32 seats, and we’re hearing forecasts of 40+ losses.”
