'Absolute Disaster': CNN's Data Guru Throws Cold Water On GOP's Midterm Prospects
CNN's Date Guru Harry Enten weighed in on yet another Republican loss this Tuesday, noting that things aren't looking good for their prospects in the midterm elections.
Progressive Democrat Analilia Mejia defeated her opponent Republican Joe Hathaway for former Rep. Mikie Sherrill's House seat this Thursday, and Enton had lots of bad news for Republicans on what this trend looks like for their chances to hold onto the House this fall.
Here's the back and forth with Enton and CNN's Kaitlan Collins:
COLLINS: Breaking news tonight as CNN can now project that the progressive Democrat, Analilia Mejia, will win the House special election to fill now Governor Mikie Sherrill's seat in New Jersey.
The decisive victory tonight against the Republican former mayor Joe Hathaway came just a couple of minutes after the polls closed across the state, and Mejia's win is further eroding Speaker Mike Johnson's historically narrow House majority that he has here in Washington.
That's because once she is sworn in, she will only be able to afford a single Republican defection on party-line votes to pass legislation. Not exactly the news he wants to hear tonight.
On the numbers, though, I want to bring in CNN's chief data analyst, Harry Enton. And Harry, what are you looking at when you look at her victory tonight?
