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.
