EXCERPT:
PORTMAN: “I’m not worried about Ohio and I think other states as well, like Missouri where Roy Blunt is from who just announced he’s not running again. So I think we cannot just hold our numbers but expand our numbers and get the majority back. Typically, in that midterm, after a presidential election the party in power in the White House loses a bunch of seats in the Senate I suspect given the makeup of the Senate races in 2022, we’re likely to pick up a few seats. So I think we’ll get the majority back, we’ll see.”
