Republican Senator Lindsay Graham, close to Trump, has acknowledged that Democrats have a good chance of winning the presidential election scheduled for November 3.
This came during a session of the Senate Judiciary Committee today, Thursday, when Graham tried to respond to criticism from Democrats of Trump and Republicans who rushed to appoint conservative Justice Amy Connie Barrett to the Supreme Court before the elections.
“You have a good chance of winning the White House,” Graham said during the session. Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar cut him off saying, “Thank you for admitting that,” he replied, “I think this is true.”
Graham argued, however, that the fate of the Democrats did not justify suspending the confirmation proceedings of the judge, whom Trump had elected to the Supreme Court.
But Klobuchar called the matter “scandalous,” noting that in 2016 Republicans refused to listen to a judge nominated by President Barack Obama at the time to the Supreme Court on the pretext of the upcoming elections, adding that “millions people vote during our debate, “referring to early voting.
On the other hand, the “Daily Beast” website reported that “Fox News” owner Robert Murdoch told his assistants that he expected a landslide victory from Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
The site cited 3 people close to Murdoch, who is close to Trump and one of his biggest supporters, as saying he is disgusted by Trump’s handling of the Corona pandemic, describing him as his own enemy and not listening to advice.
The site stated that Murdoch, who had long enjoyed distinguished relationships with President Trump that allowed him to communicate with him directly, had not spoken with the president for weeks due to his anger at Trump’s criticism of Fox when he described its coverage as negative.
On the other hand, Trump seems not to be the only Republican at risk in the elections; While the White House teacher is falling at the polls 20 days before the polls, his party is struggling to maintain his majority in the Senate.
In parallel with the presidential elections, elections are being held to renew some 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate.
Republicans currently have a 53-seat majority, but are behind in four races for seats they control, and they don’t appear to be in a good position in the unclear races in 5 other states.
Among the Republicans facing difficulties is Senator Lindsey Graham, who is fighting for his political career in South Carolina, against an unexpectedly funded opponent.
