President Donald Trump, in a shift, has begun voicing some doubts about Republicans’ chances in the midterm elections as he heads to Nebraska Monday to rally for Sen. Pete Ricketts in yet another red state stop.
Confidence is a hallmark of the 80-year-old chief executive’s presidential persona, so his willingness to acknowledge he and other top Republicans are “worried” about a number of races is uncharacteristic. But during exchanges with reporters in the Oval Office, and at campaign stops in Texas, Oklahoma and Ohio, he has done just that.
