Trump expressed doubt to donors GOP can hold Senate: report

President Trump privately told donors at a Nashville, Tenn., fundraiser on Thursday that he thinks it will be “very tough†for Republicans to keep their majority in the Senate, adding that he would not support certain GOP senators, according to The Washington Post.
The fundraiser was held the same night of the final presidential debate, which also took place in Nashville.
“I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough,†Trump said at the Nashville Marriott event, an attendee told 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.â€
The attendee spoke to the news outlet on the condition of anonymity because the event was a private, closed-door gathering.
The Hill has reached out to the White House and representatives of the Trump campaign for comment.
During Thursday’s presidential debate, Trump said he believes Republicans will instead take back control of the House, where Democrats currently hold a majority.
