Fox News predicts Democrats will win House in midterms for first time this cycle

Fox News cited Trump’s sinking approval and rising fuel and grocery costs in projecting Democrats to win at least 219 House seats.

  • Fox News' latest power rankings predicted this week that Democrats are likely to flip the Republican-controlled House for the first time this election cycle, with at least 219 seats favored for the party.
  • Combined with improvements in Democratic candidate quality and Republican-led redistricting efforts falling short, the House appears out of reach for the GOP this year, Fox News contributor Rémy Numa wrote Tuesday.
  • Diesel and gas prices at record highs have rural voters souring on the Republican Party, contributing to 20 races shifting leftward according to Fox News analysis.
  • President Donald Trump faces sinking approval ratings and strained relations with Fox, which has become more critical in recent weeks amid the network's midterm forecast.
  • With 18 seats still considered toss-ups, Trump is in a 'very tight spot,' as Stuart Varney explained, frantic for solutions to lower fuel prices before the midterms.
