President Donald Trump made a prediction about the GOP's control of the Senate at a fundraiser this week,
"I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough," Trump said, according to an attendee who shared the President's comments on condition of anonymity with the Post. "There are a couple senators I can't really get involved in. I just can't do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can't help some of them. I don't want to help some of them."
Trump's comments were made at a closed-door gathering held in Nashville, Tennessee, before the last presidential debate, according to the Post, where he said that he thinks the GOP will "take back the House."
Hours after the Post released its story, Trump told reporters that he hopes the GOP maintains control of the Senate.
"I hope to hold the Senate, we do. I think from a presidential standpoint we're winning a lot of states including this one. I think we're doing very well here. The crowd is certainly enthusiastic. I hope that we do. I think we're gonna take back the House because people are tired of Nancy Pelosi..."
Trump's comments come at a time when Republicans in tight down-ballot races, who had hoped to ride the President's coattails to victory, have little desire to align with him. Several influential Republicans have pleaded with Trump to abruptly change his tactics in the final two weeks to zero-in on an economic message, stop downplaying the coronavirus pandemic and to quit launching attacks against his public health experts -- namely Dr. Anthony Fauci.

I am in Ventura County OMG there was all of this HONKING going on so I ran out to the Main Street AND OMG a HUGE Trump car and Truck parade I stood on the street and waved for about a 1/2 hour huge smile on my face!!
You are right! Its sickening and ramping up every day. It’s a troll, i think.
Does not sound like Trump. Outwardly at least he has shown tremendous loyalty to people who frankly don’t deserve it.
I think we pick up 2 seats
Not me.. I’m in agreement NY and CA are out of play.
Yep. Look how much they helped Trump the first two years when Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress.
No, you said “Eff off Kelly”.
I said Kelly is Hitler.
