The Texas congressman and top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” saying the GOP “feels very confident” they will regain the House because Biden is seen as a “weak president.”
“I think the polling shows this,” McCaul said. “Historically, as well, the party out of power in the first term in the White House, we will pick up seats.”
“All we need is five [seats],” McCaul continued. “I predict we’re going to get probably at least 40 seats because this president has been so unpopular when it comes to inflation, gas prices, in my reign, the foreign policy mistakes that he’s made, and quite frankly, they see him as a weak president.”
If Republicans can flip both the House and Senate this fall, McCaul said, the party would push to return to former President Donald Trump’s border policies, which the Biden administration largely rolled back after entering the White House.
