WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is telling House Republicans their time in the minority is not going to last long.
Trump is speaking at an annual fundraiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee. He tells the group:"We're going to take back the House. We are."The Democrats found success in the November elections by attracting support from women, minorities and college-educated voters, particularly in suburban districts. Many wanted a check on the president.
But Trump is citing tax cuts and his work on trade deals as positives that will help Republicans in 2020. He is also boasting of efforts to ramp up oil and gas production, saying,"We've ended the war on American energy."
