""You got to win the midterms," Trump said Tuesday at a retreat for the party's House caucus in Washington. "They'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached." Trump offered a familiar blueprint for majority parties, which historically have lost seats in off-year elections: blaming their troubles on messaging problems and insisting that voters just aren't seeing their achievements. Trump predicted the GOP would pull off an "epic" victory and defy those trends."
""You have so much ammunition, all you have to do is sell it," Trump said. "You want to turn this thing? You work on favored nations, you work on borders, you work on all of the things that we talked about, but now you take the health care issue away from them." As for his tax law, Trump said "there are so many goodies" that "you have to get the word out.""
Trump urged Republicans to win the midterm elections and warned that if Democrats retook Congress they would find a reason to impeach him for a third time. He blamed messaging failures for typical midterm losses and predicted an "epic" GOP victory despite unfavorable polls and public dissatisfaction with his leadership and the economy. He expressed exasperation with voters, touted policy achievements including a migrant crackdown, tariffs, lower drug costs and a tax-and-spending bill, and instructed lawmakers to aggressively promote those priorities and reframe health care to regain political momentum in a pivotal election year.
