Trump warns of dire consequences if Democrats take House [View all]

Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump warned Tuesday night of dire consequences should Democrats take the House in this year's midterm elections, but predicted Republicans are "going to win."

Speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual March fundraiser, Trump said that, "on issue after issue," House Democrats are "way outside of the American mainstream."

"Democrats like to campaign as moderates, but they always govern like radicals," he said, warning that, if they win, Democrats will block efforts to secure the borders, "release dangerous criminals," and try to raise Americans' taxes, among other ills.

He also vowed to campaign tirelessly to help GOP candidates win, telling a room full of Republican party leaders and donors, "I'll be all over the country."
