Chuck Todd: Ebola, ISIS Staying in the News 'Hurts Democrats'

On Friday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Today,” Chuck Todd, moderator of the network’s Sunday show “Meet the Press,” warned Democrats that spotlight on the Ebola outbreak and the threat of ISIS is a vulnerability for Democrats in next month’s midterm elections.

“Every day that Ebola or ISIS is in the news in these last 10 days, I can tell you, dogging the campaigns on both sides,” Todd said. “They really do think that actually hurts the Democrats.”

“Democrats are trying to have a closing argument in these Senate races — making the case that the Republicans too extreme on issues important to women or too extreme on domestic issues,” Todd added. “But they can’t. If they can’t break through with that and Ebola and ISIS are dominating the headlines, it may put Republicans in a better position.”
