Biden cast doubt on Dems’ chances of winning the still-uncalled battle for the House majority. “I think it’s going to be very close, but I don’t think we’re going to make it,” Biden told reporters in Indonesia, where he's attending the G-20 summit.
President Joe Biden on Monday cast doubt on Democrats’ chances of winning the still-uncalled contest for the House majority.
Republicans, predicted by many ahead of last week’s midterms to easily secure a House majority, continue to hold the inside track for control of the chamber in the next Congress, though more than a dozen close races are still uncalled. Still, some Democrats— an outcome that was almost unthinkable just a week ago — especially as they ride the high of clinching the Senate majority over the weekend.
The president’s expression of doubt about his party’s chances in the House came in response to a reporter question about what Americans could expect from Congress on abortion rights. Biden said he does not think “they can expect much of anything other than we’re going to maintain our positions,” and that there likely will not be enough votes to codify“I don’t think there’s enough votes to codify unless something happens unusual in the House,” Biden said.
