Brit Hume: Republican 'washout' possible in midterms

Fox News host Brit Hume said Republicans could face a difficult outcome in the upcoming midterms, describing the possibility of not only losing close races but also suffering broader losses. Speaking on “Special Report” with Bret Baier, he said it’s not guaranteed, but “it could happen” and could amount to a “big washout.” Hume pointed to an uphill environment for the GOP, citing factors including the unpopular war in Iran, former President Donald Trump’s slumping approval rating, and concerns about the cost of living. He also referenced polling trends, noting Decision Desk HQ averages showing Trump at 38.7% approval and 59.4% disapproval on Thursday afternoon.
