Trump promises 'bigger majorities' for GOP even as midterm warning signs flash for his party
WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump predicted Wednesday that his party will have larger congressional majorities after Novembers midterm elections, even as political warning signs that have privately worried some Republicans for months are starting to flash red.
While Trump said the U.S. is winning so big in the war in Iran, it is keeping gas prices high, travelers are facing unprecedented airport security wait times and Americans remain concerned about steep costs of living.
The latest sign of trouble came this week from Trumps own backyard as Democrat Emily Gregory won a Florida special election to flip a state legislative district that encompasses his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.
Against that backdrop, Trump worked to rally the GOP on Wednesday night when he addressed the National Republican Congressional Committees annual fundraising dinner at Washingtons Union Station.
