Polling has suggested that Republicans are likely to maintain their majority in the Senate, where a number of Democrats are up for reelection in states Trump won in 2016. But Democrats are likely to flip the House and regain control of the lower chamber, polls have indicated.
Trump added Sunday that “the level of fervor, the level of fever is very strong on the Republican side.”
“There is something going on out there, and I think you know what I mean. … The level of fervor, the level of fever is very strong on the Republican side. So I can’t speak to the blue, but I can speak to the red. There’s a lot of energy out there,” he said.
