For those who watch The 5 on FOX Information, that Dana Perino doesn’t normally exit on a limb to make political predictions. She is more likely to observe conventional polling and play her playing cards very near her chest.
That’s not what she did at present.
Perino was speaking concerning the horrible optics for Democrats with the federal government shutdown when she all of the sudden predicted that Democrats are going to lose BOTH of the upcoming gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.
“What headline would you like on the finish of at present? President Trump needs 25 headlines every single day and it really works for them, it will get complicated for me masking this as a result of it’s like strolling right into a room filled with disco balls, like the place do we glance subsequent? As a result of there’s so many issues which might be occurring.
However the Democrats actually have one singular focus, it’s how do they win the midterms and the way do they arrive again in 2028?
However we’ve already seen the rinse and repeat. In the event that they’re going to swiftly, instantly now within the first time period, first 12 months within the second time period, begin calling JD Vance principally Hitler, so we all know that you just’re by no means gonna transfer on from Trump, as a result of it doesn’t matter who it’s – Jeb Bush may come again and attempt to run for president and they might name him Hitler and attempt to tie him to Trump as a result of that’s what they suppose is their ticket to experience when it actually has been their ticket to nowhere.
And that’s why they’re not gonna win. And I don’t suppose they’re gonna win both of those gubernatorial races within the subsequent two weeks.”

Dana may very nicely be proper. The polls in each races have tightened in current weeks and are principally neck and neck. And as everyone knows, polls are likely to favor Democrats.
It’s all going to return right down to prove. Which facet can prove probably the most voters to make sure victory. For Republicans, it virtually must be a repeat of 2024. It needs to be too huge to rig.
