Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was confident on Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Republicans will win the presidency, the House, and the Senate in the 2024 just two weeks away.
Johnson said, “The headline that I read about the rally in Pennsylvania yesterday was the big question, and it’s the one that Kamala Harris has not been able or willing to answer, and that is, are you better off now than you were under the Trump administration four years ago. No one can answer that question with a yes.”
He added, “I mean, no one, and that’s why Kamala Harris herself avoids the question."
Johnson told Jake Tapper that he has visited over 230 cities in 40 states and is "absolutely convinced there's an energy out there right now."
"I’m convinced that we’re going to win the White House, the Senate and the House," he said.
His visits now are to swing states, blue states, and toss-up House districts, intended to bolster support in the toughest areas, he said.
He described what he wants to see happen in the House if he can retain a very narrow GOP majority, or in the best case scenario, build on it.
“We’re going to have a very aggressive agenda to get the economy going again, to help everyone," he promised.
"Look everywhere I go, Jake — everybody has the same concerns," he explained. "They’re fed up, and they’re fired up about the cost of living that’s an affordable now, rising crime rates everywhere and, the weakness on the world stage, and the wide open border. They know that Kamala Harris is responsible for those things, and they know that President Trump is offering alternatives.”
Trump does seem to have the momentum in the race, with about a one-point advantage in battleground states according to the Real Clear Politics polling average.
If the polling average on the site is accurate, Trump would get 312 electoral votes to Harris's 226.
Harris is giving word salad interviews, and voters are giving CBS a black eye for trying to rescue her from them while Trump is being a beloved man of the people at McDonald's.
She's being ignored in hurricane-ravaged Florida while Trump is speaking words of comfort to those still suffering.
Maybe if she actually seemed like she had a real and genuine bone in her body, she'd have a better chance.
