Vice President Pence maintained in an interview with Hill.TV on Friday that Republicans will keep control of the House in next week's midterm elections.
"I think we're going to expand our majority in the United States Senate, and I think we're going to hold our Republican majority in the House of Representatives," Pence told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton.
"But that being said, there is certainly common ground in areas that we can work that the president has laid out," Pence added when asked about working with Democrats if they win the House, citing issues like trade and infrastructure.
"I think there's a broad range of areas that we'll be able to work with that Democrat minority in the House and the Senate, and we'll continue to reach out to do that."
The comments from Pence, a former six-term House member, came shortly after President Trump acknowledged earlier Friday that Republicans could end up losing control of the lower chamber in Tuesday's midterms.
"It could happen. Could happen. We're doing very well, and we're doing really well in the Senate, but could happen," Trump said at a rally in West Virginia.
"And you know what you do? My whole life, you know what I say? 'Don't worry about it, I'll just figure it out,'" he continued. "Does that make sense? I'll figure it out."
Trump has been active on the campaign trail in recent weeks, criss-crossing the country in an effort to boost GOP Senate and gubernatorial candidates and get Republicans to the polls.
Democrats are widely favored to win the House. They need to net 23 seats to take control of the chamber.
The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has rated 72 Republican-held House seats — and only five Democratic seats — as "at risk" ahead of the elections.
Meanwhile, Republicans are widely favored to keep control of the Senate, where Democrats have a less favorable map and are defending 10 seats in states Trump won in 2016.
The cook report is anything but nonpartisan.
They are breaking their own neck to try and keep hope alive and limit the damage that Trump has wrought on their lord and savior the Democrat Party.
It won’t work.
The Democrat Party is dead meat floating in the river face down. There is no hope
I neglected to mention I was in Gulf Time Zone.
Dangit, that’s a bit of a drive. Hm. I have a few swallers left of some good stuff... can’t remember the name, probably can’t spell it either. Tastes like seaweed & iodine, strained through a campfire. We’ll have a Toast my Friend!
Following a huge GOP victory, the fifth-column leftist media wetting themselves isn't from tears.
“The Democrat Party is dead meat floating in the river face down. There is no hope.”
Your keyboard to God’s Ears!!
Iowa?! Well you are plum off the edge of the map! We will drink deeply over the plight of our enemies on Tuesday. I pledge it.

I hope he is right.

Oh, *wine*. No wonder I didn’t recognize it. ;-)
Sounds like Laphroaig Triple Wood...

There never was any question.
The Dems are in a power dive to oblivion.
If their loony judges keep on obstructing, they will be impeached and removed.
.
I think Pence is showing some bluster here.
I have a feeling the WH internal polling doesn’t look good.
Dem turnout is huge so far, and they are turning out a ton of NEW and first time voters. Millennial turnout and minority turnout is way way up.
I have read the exact opposite of what you posted.
