Clinton: Over 50 Precent Chance Dems Keep the Senate

Friday on PBS’s “NewsHour,” former President Bill Clinton predicted the Democrats will do better than expected in the November midterm election saying, “I think we have a slightly better than 50 percent chance” to hold the Democratic-controlled Senate.

Clinton said, “It is a question of whether the Democrats can get over their primary disability as a political party which is we can produce in a presidential race but not a midterm.”

“I think we have a slightly better than 50 percent chance to hold the Congress. I still think we can win in Georgia and Kentucky. We’re now competitive in Kansas, and we have to, I think — we have a great chance to win in North Carolina. I think we’re now going to hold Michigan, and I believe we’ll win in Iowa, and I think Mark and Mary Landrieu will win. So I’m not with the skeptics. I think we are going to do better then the skeptics think.”
