Chuck Schumer said he doesn't think Democrats will keep control of the House, report says

WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., reportedly said Monday to a group of Senate Democrats that he believes his party won't keep control of the House in November's midterm elections.

According to a report in Punchbowl News, Schumer said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is "in trouble."

Pelosi expressed confidence again Wednesday at a news conference that the Democrats would retain the House.

Historically, the party in the White House loses seats in midterm elections.

In 2018, in the middle of Republican President Donald Trump's term, Democrats won control of the House, while Republicans retained control of the Senate.

During Democratic President Barack Obama's second term in 2014, Republicans retained the majority in the House and took the majority in the Senate.
