MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was sweating bullets Monday now that all the polls are indicating that the GOP will break the majority in the House, and likely the Senate.
Scarborough seemed stressed as he expressed concern that the Democrats are holding out hope for nothing.
“The House, if you look at history, if you look at the latest inflation report, at this point I’d be very surprised if Republicans didn’t have a good night in the house,” Scarborough said. “It would have to be historic, historic occurrence, a lot of Democrats still hoping the overturning of Roe would cause some hidden trend lines [that] we’re not seeing in the polls.”
Inflation increased at 0.4% in September from August while “core” inflation, which measures the price of goods excluding food and energy, hit a 40-year high.
Scarborough argued the Senate still seems “up for grabs” and mentioned Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Ohio and Georgia’s senate races.
“The House looks like Republicans ought to be doing well, the Senate? My gosh, it looks like we can go anywhere from Republicans three up, to Democrats two,” he said.
MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire then said Republicans may pick up a few seats in the House but Democrats may still have the upper hand. Lemire said he expects Nevada’s Senate race to favor Republicans while Pennsylvania’s seat may very well go to Democratic candidate and Lt. Gov. John Fetterman.
Lemire also said he’s unsure about Ohio’s Senate seat but that ultimately “this is going to come down to one state, and that state is Georgia.”
“Boy, it’s gonna be close.”
Scarborough is just another talking head to me. Someone who was bought off years ago and who acts now as an activist for the left. So it’s understandable that he’s be feeling stressed—His buddies are all about to lose big time.
