RNC Chairman Michael Steele today expressed confidence that he would win back the House seat in the Pennsylvania’s 12th district in November elections.
Steele, however, was not sure about taking control of Congress.
Last week, Democrat Mark Critz replaced John Murtha by winning the special election but Steele downplayed Murtah’s victory saying it was a conservative district that the GOP would win in five months. “In November, we’ll get that seat back because, guess what, independent conservatives get to play then and that will be a very different race,” Steele said.
“Are you going to take the House back in November?” host Jake Tapper asked on "This Week."
“We’re working very hard to do that, but, as you can see, you know, with some incumbents going down in primaries, and newer players coming to the table, that model is still being built out for us. But, absolutely, we’re in the hunt,” Steele responded.
On his part, DNC chairman Tim Kaine said, “We’re going to hold on to both Houses.”
