I don't see it that way. It is VERY rare that the president's party gains house seats during his mid-term and also rare that the president's party gains senate seats.Zlaxer wrote: Fri Nov 16, 2018 10:34 am Simple math and demographics - the fact that the GOP lost with a decent economy is telling...it means they can't win anymore.
In terms of house gains, Obama lost 63 house seats in 2010. Trump only lost 39. The last time the president's party gained seats during the mid-term (either house,) was 2002.
