News - Middle East: Republican American Senator Rick Scott has said Democrats are going to lose in the 2022 midterm elections in November and Republicans will take the Senate.

“I’m 100% certain we’ll take the Senate,” Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), said in an interview with Gray Television White House correspondent Jon Decker airing this weekend. “I think we’re going to have a breakthrough.”

Scott pointed out the quality of Republican Senate candidates, naming Wisconsin candidate Ron Johnson, Pennsylvania candidate Mehmet Oz, North Carolina candidate Ted Budd, Georgia candidate Herschel Walker and Nevada candidate Adam Laxalt, among others.
“Just look at our candidates. mean, look at them … These guys have great backgrou And they’re working hard. They’re running good races,” Scott said.

The Florida senator argued that President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings in contested states give him confidence that the Republicans have a chance at winning, calling Biden the “best advocate for why you do not want to vote for any Democrats right now.”
“This is a referendum on Biden,” said Scott.

 “I do know that Biden helps us every day when he has a party for inflation in the day that inflation is 8.3%. That probably helps us a lot when he continues to leave the border open, that probably helps us a lot … If you look at everything he’s doing when he says, ‘Oh, if you’re a construction worker, you’re going to pay off the debt of somebody going to an Ivy League school.’ That probably helps us win,” he added.

The GOP senator said that he thinks Democrats “have to talk about abortion” because in his view they are doing badly on other issues.

“They can’t talk about inflation. They can’t talk about job growth. We lost 242,000 full-time jobs last month,” he said.

“I mean, they can’t talk about the economy, they can’t talk about schools, they can’t talk about Afghanistan, they can’t talk about the border, they can’t talk about crime because it’s all bad issues for them,” Scott continued.
