Top House Republican Says Battleground Is Narrowing

“House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) is scaling back expectations and zeroing in on a narrowed battlefield as Republicans’ prospects of keeping their majority look increasingly bleak,” Axios reports.

“Emmer, a former National Republican Congressional Committee chair who helped the GOP unexpectedly gain seats in 2020, argues his party can still defy historical headwinds in November.”

“But with less than a month to go, Emmer acknowledges that some tough decisions are coming about where Republicans spend their money, including walking away from races they don’t think they can salvage.”
