Iran Press/ America: The Biden administration’s optimism has dwindled given that research organizations, including the FiveThirtyEight project, project a likely Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
The White House now puts the Democrats’ chances of keeping control of the Senate at 50-50, Reuters reported.
However, President Joe Biden still believes Democrats have a strong shot at retaining control of Congress and the administration is publicly sticking to an optimistic message, the report also said.
Biden has expressed concern that Republicans could jeopardize future aid for Ukraine after current House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy vowed to cease writing blank checks to Kyiv if Republicans get to be the majority after the election.
Republicans could also attempt to impeach Biden and launch investigations into the dealings of his son, Hunter Biden, if they get control of Congress, the report said.
Democrats have been campaigning on issues such as abortion and their legislative agenda in an attempt to retain control of both chambers of Congress that traditionally favors the party not in control of the White House, the report added.
Biden has increased his travel schedule in recent weeks to highlight the Democrats’ work in Congress over the past two years, according to the report.
