Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell shared his grim projection for Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections, but don’t believe a word the dude says.Speaking at a Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce luncheon this week, McConnell was asked about how he thought his party might fare in November.“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” the 80-year-old senator, who has first elected in 1985, said. “Senate races are just different.
They’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”Related: Video of Mitch McConnell falling recirculates after he immediately politicizes RBG’s deathHe continued, “Right now, we have a 50-50 Senate and a 50-50 country, but I think when all is said and done this fall, we’re likely to have an extremely close Senate, either our side up slightly or their side up slightly.”Naturally, this had a lot of people on the left celebrating.
After all, if the chief obstructionist/de facto leader of the Republican party says he doesn’t think his side is going to win in November, it must be a good sign for Democrats, right?Mitch McConnell has said he doesn’t believe Republicans will win majority in the Senate.
