McEnany sounds alarm: Midterms 'will be hard' for Republicans

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday warned that the November midterm elections “will be hard” for Republicans as the GOP seeks to keep control of Congress.

She defended her former boss, President Trump, on “Fox & Friends Weekend” while discussing the tough road Republican lawmakers have ahead with the midterms approaching.

“I think there’s a sense he’s doing things,” McEnany, who is now a Fox News host. “Not to put too rosy a picture on it though, midterms will be hard for Republicans. It’s just historically difficult to win when you’re in power, but I would like my odds more with this president than prior presidents.”. Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke added, “That and a little voter security will go a long way. Just saying.”

House Republicans have had trouble touting their successes and have had to scramble for a midterm strategy amid a freshly changed environment. The U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran has muddled Trump’s “America First” policy and caused gas prices to skyrocket, undermining his State of the Union address in February when he acclaimed lower gas prices.

The oligarchs are happy.

The proles, not so much.

A "don't piss down my leg and tell me it's raining" kind of thing.
