A list of puns related to "2002 Massachusetts Gubernatorial Election"
McConnell said among other things: βIβm very optimistic. We have 50 Republican senators. I know what a real minority looks like. We had 40 after President Obama got elected. And so I think the wind is going to be at our back in both the House and Senate. I think thereβs a great likelihood of a pretty good election next year.β Β Referring to his old age McConnell noted he has been around for a while: 71% of the American people say weβre going in the wrong direction, I donβt remember 71 percent wrong track before.β
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy similarly has been asserting he thinks itβs possible House Republicans pick up 60 or more seats. [This midterm election year, all 435 seats are up for grab.]
There are 34 U.S. Senate seats up for regular election in 2022β14 seats held by Democrats and 20 held by Republicans.
Is this outlook a little over the top for the Republicans. Does their confident predictions overlook the fact that there are presently 20 Republican seats up for re-election next year while only 14 Democratic seats are up for grabs?
