White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is deferring to Vice President Joe Biden’s mid-term election prediction that Democrats will finish with a Senate majority of 52 seats.

Biden appeared bullish that Democratic Senators Mark Begich, Kay Hagan, and Jeanne Shaheen would win their races against tough Republican candidates.

Biden also asserted during the interview that Independent candidate Greg Orman in Kansas would caucus with Democrats.

But Earnest said that he had no inside information from the White House about Orman’s future.
