Cook Political Report founder Charlie Cook on Sunday said that it has been a “done deal” conclusion that Democrats are likely to retake the House after the November midterm elections, while their chances of claiming the Senate look “very realistic.”
“I would completely agree that the House has been kind of a done deal for a good while,” Cook said in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” with Martha Raddatz. “But the Senate, a year ago, it wasn’t realistic to think that the Senate might flip, but now it’s very realistic.”

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (U.N.) Mike Waltz said Sunday that President Trump rejected Iranian officials’ ceasefire proposal because they asked for “everything up front.”
“They were asking for everything up front. They were asking for relief from billions and billions of sanctions that are going into place as Operation Economic Fury, but also … snapback sanctions from the United Nations that have been in place for many years,” Waltz told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday claimed that President Trump did not deny White House reporters access to the executive mansion, after the president banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW reporters from the grounds and had their passes confiscated by Secret Service.
“Well, the president hasn’t denied access,” Blanche told “This Week” host Martha Raddatz on ABC News. “That’s not the right way to describe it. This is what the president has said –– is that he is sick and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report accurate news.”

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Sunday said a third attempt to impeach President Trump if Democrats take control of Congress in November would be about “setting a standard” of accountability.
Khanna appeared on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” when he told host Kristen Welker that impeaching Trump, who he said has become “in my view, increasingly irrelevant,” would not be a mistake for Democrats. Impeachment is about upholding “constitutional values,” he emphasized.
