McCarthy Predicts GOP Will Flip More Than 20 Seats

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Politico that Republicans will achieve the high end of midterm forecasts.

Said McCarthy: “We are in a position to get to the high end of what the prognosticators say, which is 20, 22 seats, get us into the 230s.”

He added: “The map is so small because there’s just no swing seats after redistricting. So getting into the 230s … represents picking off a lot of seats that Biden won by seven, eight, nine points. And I think that that actually is a red wave.”
