Congressman Barry Moore spoke with Breitbart News about the coming midterm election on Saturday. Moore said that the American people “have seen the failed policies of this administration,” and that the House Republicans are calling “it a two G election, “gas and groceries.”
“I think [in] so many ways the American people have kind of seen the failed policies of this administration,” Moore said. “And we’re basically calling it a two G election, gas and groceries. I mean, the Americans are feeling this at the pump. They’re feeling it at the grocery store. And I think there’s a referendum on that and so many other things.”
Moore said that the chaos at the border is another issue that is working against Democrats.
“Border security has to be an issue, with over two million people we’ve had come across the border,” Moore said. “That’s a record, you know, and I think that starts and then crime that follows that I mean, as you have an open border, it’s flowing with fentanyl and human trafficking.”
Republicans are optimistic that they can take control of the House of Representatives in the coming midterms.
Former State Representative Steve Flowers wrote recently that the Republicans will probably take control of the House of Representatives.
“In talking with people in the know in Washington, it appears to be a foregone conclusion that there will be major Republican gains in Congress,” Flowers wrote. “This prognosis is not only anticipated by Republican strategists but is even being acknowledged by Democrats on the Hill and throughout the nation. Moreover, even the liberal mainstream media is cognizant of this GOP sweep on the horizon.”
Flowers estimated that Republicans could pick up 30 to 36 seats in the House in the midterms.
The Senate had appeared to be in grasp, but scandals with some of the GOP candidates, particularly Herschel Walker in Georgia, could potentially derail those chances in the Senate.
Moore is in his first term representing Alabama’s First Congressional District. Moore faces Democrat Phyllis Harvey-Hall and Libertarian Jonathan Realz.
