CNN’s Harry Enten Spots The ‘Major Warning Sign’ For GOP Following Election Losses | EUROtoday

CNN’s chief information analyst Harry Enten on Friday declared that he disagrees “entirely” with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) after the GOP chief dismissed Democrats’ wins in key election races this week.

“I think that the house is on fire and he’s like the dog saying, ‘This is fine,’” stated Enten in a phase with CNN’s Kate Bolduan.

Enten highlighted how Democrats outperformed their margins from the 2024 presidential election.

New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D) had a margin of +13 proportion factors whereas Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger had a margin of +15 factors, as of Friday morning.

This is a notable leap from final 12 months, when former Vice President Kamala Harris had a margin of +6 factors in every of the states.

“If we had, let’s say, an average eight-point shift across the board in all the different House seats from the 2024 prez result to then what happens in the 2026 House elections, you would be talking about a Democratic gain of about 20 seats, depending on redistricting,” Enten stated.

“So when I see those results on Tuesday night, I see these giant — these huge shifts in the Democratic direction. I say, Republican leaders, wake the heck up and have some of what I’m having because this is a major warning sign.”

Enten — when requested by Bolduan if his findings monitor with different elections this 12 months — emphasised that Democratic candidates in House particular elections outran Harris on all 5 events, even after they misplaced their races.

He went on to notice that the get together that outperformed in particular elections has gone on to win the House all 5 out of 5 instances for the reason that 2005-06 election cycle.

In the final 90 years, he added, Democrats have received the House 5 out of 5 instances within the 12 months after sweeping the New York City mayoral race in addition to the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial races.

“If I’m Steve Scalise, I am not dismissing these results. I’m going to try and get myself some fire insurance,” he stated.
