President Trump has admitted that Democrats could regain control of the House after the upcoming midterm elections.
During a rally in West Virginia Friday, the president blasted the Democrats, saying, "they will try to erase our gains and eradicate our progress. That's what's going to happen."
He added: "It'll be bad for our country, the Democrats. And it could happen. Could happen. We're doing very well, and we're doing really well in the Senate, but could happen. And you know what you do? My whole life — you know what I say? Don't worry about it. I'll just figure it out."
According to a New York Times piece, Trump's "self-made image as a party kingmaker is very much on the line on Tuesday."
The article also points out that the president had previously "mostly projected optimism — in part because he has endorsed so many of the Republican House candidates who are now in tough races."
The statistics site FiveThirtyEight is projecting that Democrats have an 85 percent chance of retaking the House.
