Fox News host DROPS ELECTION BOMB on Trump Pondering Politics



Fox News contributor Karl Rove drops an election bomb on Donald Trump, warning that he and the Republicans are in serious danger of losing the Senate in the midterms.

====================

Based on the transcript, here are the key points:

• Republicans face serious risk of losing both House and Senate control in the midterms, with the Senate now considered vulnerable despite previously being seen as safe

• Karl Rove sounded the alarm on Fox News, warning that critical Senate races in Maine, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Alaska, and especially Texas are now competitive or at risk

• GOP leaders are pressuring Trump to endorse in key primaries to avoid costly runoffs, particularly in Texas where a Paxton nomination could cost $200+ million to defend

• Trump's refusal to engage is causing internal chaos - he's staying out of crucial races like Georgia while endorsing against incumbent Cassidy in Louisiana over personal grudges

• The Texas Senate race is critical - if Cornyn loses the primary to Ken Paxton, Republicans fear it could drain hundreds of millions from other battleground races

• Recent Democratic special election victories have reduced the House GOP margin to just one vote, limiting Trump's ability to make endorsements without risking legislative support

Tie every republican running for office to certain issues

1. Selective enemy of Second Amendment
2. Pardon a convicted drug smuggler, 400 tons.
3. Favorable treatment for a convicted human trafficker of sexual victims.
4. Pardon all Jan6 violent offenders who tried to kill police.
5. Killing American citizens with his ICE police.
6. Destruction of the White House East Wing.
....No approval or plan.

He will wait until after the election for his pardons so it will hurt less for the republicans.
Especially the pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell.
