Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is now raising the alarm over the troubled outlook facing many GOP candidates in the upcoming midterm elections.
As The Daily Caller reports:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed concern Thursday about Republicans’ ability to take back the Senate during the upcoming November midterms, as polls show GOP candidates trailing Democrats in key races.
“I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome,” McConnell told reporters, according to Frank Thorp V of NBC News.
MCCONNELL in KY asked for his midterm projections: "I think there's probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different, they're statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome."

Although redistricting is expected to net Republicans the five seats necessary to take back the House of Representatives, elections analysts have downgraded the GOP’s chances at retaking the upper chamber amid a series of weak polls and anemic fundraising numbers.
Republicans received good news Wednesday with the release of an Emerson College poll showing JD Vance leading Rep. Tim Ryan by three points in Ohio. Ryan has significantly out-raised Vance, both in- and out-of-state, following a bruising seven-candidate GOP primary. Previous polls had shown Ryan leading by as few as three points and as many as eleven.
McConnel has reportedly feuded with GOP Senatorial chairman Rick Scott over campaign strategy in recent weeks.
I can’t believe that old do nothing RINO keeps getting elected. He is holding the Party back. “Ditch the Turtle”. Get rid of Lindsey Graham too.
Amen, we the people have to stop reelection the same people after 2 terms go find a job that makes you sweat.
McConnell, is part of the problem, he is a Biden, along with the RINOS!
Will Mitch aid the Dems??
Mitch said President Trump should be held accountable for the January 6th, 2021 capital Building riot. How about Mitch McConnel and his wife who have become Multi-Millionaires through their dealing with Chinese companies? The American People have to be totally blind or totally stupid for not seeing what corruption we have in our Political system. President Trump, a Businessman, changed America for the better for most Americans who believe in our Country our Flag, and our Constitution. I am a firm believer that the Republican party will have a hard time winning any election, especially with all the Rino’s still in the Republican Party. If we as Republican Voters don’t support our Political party then we are sure to lose the majority in Congress again and definitely not regain control of the Senate. How the Hell can the democrat voters be asked by the democratic party to change their voter registry and become Republican Voters? This was done just now to try and keep Liz Cheney in the running for her Political position. Mitch McConnell along with other Republican Rino’s have already aided their opponents by themselves betraying their Duly elected POTUS. We don’t need lifers as our Politicians as we all can see that a good percentage of them use the Federal Government system to enrich themselves. Why is our President held to 2 terms? As far as the constant harassment of President Trump goes He is held to 2 terms. He is a Businessman who doesn’t need money, as the lifers gain it over the years. Obama apparently had over 1,000 documents in his possession when he left office. Did the DOJ raid his house? NO WAY>
the problem on the Republican side of the senate is “Cocaine Mitch” himself. He is too plugged in to the totally corrupt Washington D.C. environment, and will betray fellow Republicans for that Chinese money his wife gets. He doesnt care about the American people, nor his poor constituents.
Mitch-Dah-Bitch IS IN THE DEMZ corner!!! plain and simple… he is a RINO if there ever was one!!! “McConnell and PEElosi” are the pits of these lackies in DC.. BOTH of them along with Lindsey Graham (even though he has had his good moments) along with Kevin McCarthy MUST GO!!! We could go on about more DemZ such as “AX-ine Waters, Adam “Shiftless”, AOC, Ill-haM Omar, Corey Bush, Tslib, Liz Warren, Bernie. Don’t get me started on this…
McConnell is worried that the People are voting RINO’s like him out the door.
