John Solomon and Amanda Head cut through the spin with RNC Chair Joe Gruters, Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers, and pollster Scott Rasmussen — 60 days out from November 3.
RNC Chair Joe Gruters says Republicans can defy midterm history: right candidates, cash on hand, and a two-night Dallas convention Sept. 9–10 with President Trump. Cook and other forecasters still warn of a House loss and Senate exposure. Gruters says the House path is narrower than the headlines — win 9 of 21 toss-ups and hold the majority.
Mike Rogers faces Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan’s open Senate seat. El-Sayed won a razor-thin primary on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, and ending aid to Israel. GOP ads tie him to Hasan Piker and the far-left. Most recent polls have El-Sayed narrowly ahead; Fox had Rogers up. Michigan is a must-hold/must-flip for Senate control.
Texas Senate is suddenly a toss-up in multiple surveys. National generic ballot has Democrats up about 5. Scott Rasmussen breaks down whether August numbers are a real wave — or another cycle of overcounting Democrats before Labor Day.
Will Republicans hold Congress — or are Texas and Michigan already slipping?
