 Senate GOP looks to Trump to keep hold of House majority
by Al Weaver - 05/18/24 12:00 PM ET

Senate Republicans believe the party’s chances of retaining its slim House majority will sink or swim with former President Trump in November as Democrats remain cautiously bullish of winning back the chamber despite chaos in the House GOP conference over the past year.

Republican lawmakers have oozed confidence for months about the potential of winning back the Senate in 2024, but the House is an entirely different matter. Members indicated that they see it as a true toss-up, with Trump being the determinative factor for better or worse.

“It depends on if Donald Trump wins,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), a former House member. “The House is so tied to national waves and political cycles. If Donald Trump wins it’s hard for me to imagine Republicans losing the House.”

“If Donald Trump doesn’t win, I think we could very well win the Senate and lose the House,” he added.

With less than six months to go until Election Day, the battle for the House is on a razor’s edge. No matter what party emerges as victorious, a Democratic or Republican majority stands to have another thin margin to deal with heading into the 119th Congress.

Physician, heal thyself.

The GOP needs to own their stuff. If they aren't doing what they were sent there to do, or at least not going down without raising Hell on the way, that's on them. But they want the Trump they would not cooperate with during his first term to pull their bacon out of the fire?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

McConnell will be stepping down soon, so, there is an actual glimmer of hope for the GOP Senate. Let's hope they select their leader wisely.

Yes, the GOP needs to hold their own.  Relying on Trump is futile and they shouldn't take for granted him being seated in the WH.  Brandon is awful,and they see their win as a sure thing, but IMHO he won't be the nominee and Trump, the GOP and the RNC are going to be completely blindsided.

Maybe if the Senate GOP began offering an alternative to Democrat rule, they wouldn't have to look to Trump.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
