Trump Jr. refers to ‘tired old’ Pelosi in campaign ad

Donald Trump Jr. refers to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as “tired old Nancy Pelosi” in a new campaign ad for Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.).

“If you don’t vote, the Democrats will take control of Congress and tired old Nancy Pelosi will take the gavel in the House of Representatives, where she’ll try to impeach my father and Justice Kavanaugh and enact her radical, socialist agenda of government-run health care, high taxes and gun bans,” Trump says in the radio ad, as reported in Politico Playbook on Sunday.

Pelosi is a frequent target for Republicans, who have made her a boogeywoman in the Democratic agenda.

{mosads}Politico reported that the president’s son is working overtime to rally voters for House GOP.

Trump Jr. will go to 6 rallies on Monday alone, to push Republicans to get out and vote in battleground races. 

In the week running up to the midterms, Trump Jr. campaigned in Nevada for Sen. Dean Heller, gubernatorial nominee Adam Laxalt, and House candidates in Nevada.

Trump Jr. urged voters in Arizona to fight for Rep. Martha McSally (R) in her hotly contested Senate race against Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D).

He also went to North Dakota to advocate for Rep. Kevin Cramer in his race for Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s (D) seat.

Most forecasters and polls predict that the GOP will hold its majority in the Senate and lose its hold on the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

FiveThirtyEight gives Republicans a 5 in 6 shot at keeping the Senate and a 1 in 7 chance of holding the House.

However, as FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver noted, the Republicans could still cling onto the House.

“The range of outcomes in the House is really wide,” Silver told ABC’s “This Week.”

“No one should be surprised if [Democrats] only win 19 seats and no one should be surprised if they win 51 seats,” Silver said, noting that Democrats have to take 23 seats in the House to gain a majority.

“Those are both extremely possible, based on how accurate polls are in the real world.”
