Former President Bill Clinton said Democrats can retain control of Congress in the 2022 midterms, but warns Republicans will "scare the living daylights out of swing voters" in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria.

Zakaria asked Clinton if Democrats, who have seen encouraging signs about their midterm prospects in recent weeks, can break the decades-long trend of the president's party losing control of Congress in midterm elections.

He's not wrong. Say what you want about Bill's choices in his personal life, but he's a living encyclopedia when it comes to politics. Too bad his wife is the complete opposite.

McConnell faces brewing discontent from Senate Republicans

WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing a brewing challenge to his position as the top Republican in the Senate.

Several senators are campaigning to delay a vote scheduled for next week that was expected to return McConnell to the top job.

The Kentucky Republican has held the position since 2007, making him the longest-serving GOP leader in Senate history.

Going into the midterm elections Tuesday, McConnell appeared to have a firm grasp on the leader's job and Republicans appeared poised to take control of the Senate. But now, however, both remain uncertain.
