Democrats are fighting for control by using the "only message" they have, one of obstruction, while President Donald Trump has been focusing on continuing the successes under his leadership, press secretary Sarah Sanders said Monday, and she is optimistic about Republicans' chances in Tuesday's midterm elections.
"The economy is booming, but unfortunately the media and the Democrats will never want to talk about that," Sanders told Fox News' "Fox and Friends."
"Everything they said couldn't happen in regard to the economy under this president is happening. The stock market is booming, jobs are on the rise, wages are on the rise. Every sector of the economy is doing better under this president than it has in decades."
Trump is also concentrating on stopping people from coming illegally into the United States, said Sanders, adding that she is concerned about what could happen if Democrats retake the House.
"They have no policies, they have no solutions," said Sanders. "America has some real problems we have to deal with. This is another reason when people are going to the ballot boxes tomorrow. They need to look what type of America they want to have."
She added that she does not know that the election is a referendum on Trump, as some have been stating, as there are supporters galvanized because of him.
"The type of energy, enthusiasm, that we've seen day in, day out, over the last six to eight weeks is something I have never seen before, certainly not in a midterm election for any president at any point," said Sanders.
Sanders also discussed the Iran sanctions announced last week, noting that they are the toughest that have ever been imposed on the country.
