‘Trump card’: House GOP rating reveals confidence amid contentious presidential race

A FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans’ campaign arm is confident voter excitement will increase former President Donald Trump It will lead them to victory in tight races across the country on Election Day.

The House GOP will rise and fall with Trump, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) said in a memo sent to candidates and campaigns Monday morning and obtained by Fox News Digital.

“The House has not reversed the results of a presidential election since the 1800s. In the past 75 years, a House majority has not changed hands during a presidential election cycle. That’s why, with less than two weeks until Election Day, I believe House Republicans can increase our majority.”

both Democrats and Republicans They devoted enormous time and resources to such races in New York and California; where suburban backlash against cities’ progressive crime policies led to GOP control of the House in 2022.
