Mary Matalin to Newsmax TV: GOP Will Hold House, Add Senate Seats

Thursday, 25 October 2018 11:07 PM EDT

Republican political consultant Mary Matalin told Newsmax TV on Thursday that she believes the GOP will not only win seats in the Senate, but also hold on to the House majority.

In remarks on “Newsmax Now,” Matalin — who’s served under President Ronald Reagan, was campaign director for George H. W. Bush, and was an  assistant to President George W. Bush — said Democrats “forget even recent history.”

“We’re going to win in all the same places” Republicans were victorious in 2016, she asserted.

I've been looking at my notes from last spring when the wave was starting to be the narrative,” she added. “We're never going to lose the House. And I'm looking to pick up five to seven Senate seats.”

She added that she was particularly confident about John James’ chances in his underdog Senate bid in Michigan.

“I know the kind of Reagan Democrats, the kind of Republicans that are there and John James is spectacular, stellar,” she said, calling him a “candidate of integrity.”

“He's just what this cycle needs I think he's going to win,” she said.
