Dan Bongino, President Donald Trump's former deputy director of the FBI, admitted there was a "good chance" that Republicans would lose both the House and the Senate in the midterm elections.
The former government official made the prediction during his Thursday podcast.
"Folks, I listen, again, I don't want to pile on here, but when something's wrong, it's our obligation to talk about it on the show and call it out," he said just days after Trump's State of the Union address. "The midterms are coming up, and sadly, there's a good chance we may not do well. I'm not a doomer. I hope we do well, but we have to be open to the obvious that we could lose the Senate or the House or both."
Bongino said he hoped Republicans didn't lose the midterms despite his prediction.
"I hope we're okay. Going to fight like hell," he remarked. "But we could lose. If we don't have the majority and the Senate, it goes majority Democrat after the midterms; it doesn't matter. We're not going to get anything passed anyway. We only have this chance now."
