“President Donald Trump has told aides that he thinks Republicans could still outperform expectations in the midterm elections this November, seemingly unwilling to confront the worsening political climate for the GOP,” Wired reports.
“But aides acknowledge privately that the national polling for Trump is shockingly bad, and the White House, in recent weeks, has begun to contemplate for the first time losing both the House and Senate majorities.”
Said one longtime Trump operative: “Oh, yeah, we’re going to get creamed.”
NBC News: Trump says he and Republicans have done “very bad job” touting economic wins.
