House Republican Says Quality of Life Is Going Down' Adds, Under Democrats'

"We have to get the ballots in the box. They win on process, not on policy. We have the policy. I learned how to do this because I've been through really tough elections. We have to get to voters. We have to get them registered and we have to get their ballots. But it's not just our regular Republicans. It is moderate Democrats who are disgusted with many of these issues, who know the quality of life is going down"

"Look, we're pushing them to do that because when you look at this last election, which the Democrats are describing as a wipeout Oh gee, the Democrats won in blue areas' but where they won in areas that weren't exactly blue, and even some parts of upstate New York they actually lost blue areas, Tenney replied. It is a very narrow margin. It was about seven percent on average, so it's not a huge swing."

Republicans control the presidency and both chambers of Congress while Democrats seek to retake the narrowly held House. The Senate map is unfavorable to Democrats, who hold 47 seats. Midterm history typically hurts the president's party, and polls show majority disapproval of President Trump's performance, including on the economy. Republicans emphasize that recent electoral margins were narrow and argue that organizing, registering voters, and securing ballots will determine outcomes more than policy. Republicans aim to mobilize regular voters and disaffected moderate Democrats who perceive declining quality of life and weak economic performance under Democrats.
