Summary

The GOP barely kept its House majority in 2022, weighed down by controversial candidates and Democratic attacks on abortion. Will Republicans keep, or even expand, their hold on the chamber? On this episode of All Things, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) talks through the candidates that have the best chances to flip seats from blue to red, what the GOP is doing differently on abortion this time, and Donald Trump's influence on down-ballot races. He also weighs in on the chance of a government shutdown and whether the scandal over North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson will hurt Trump or other candidates in that battleground state.
