Cornyn Doesn't Expect GOP Senate Majority
The Hill reports:
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn (R-Texas) conceded Sunday that it will take two election cycles for his party to take control of the Senate.
Only two days shy of the midterm elections on Tuesday, Cornyn said Republicans will "make a lot of headway" but "I'm not predicting that we will get the majority this cycle."
"I think it probably is going to take two cycles, but there is certainly a potential there, depending on just how high and how broad this wave election is," Cornyn said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
He pushed back on reports that Republicans were pulling their support for Senate candidate Joe Miller, who is in a close race with incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), running as a write-in after he defeated her in the Republican primary, and Democratic candidate Scott McAdams.
"Well, that's not the case," Cornyn said. "We are supporting the nominee of our party, which is Mr. Miller, but we are concerned."
With the tight race, Cornyn said that what Republicans "want to make sure of is that the Democrat doesn't win."
