Fred Upton (R-MI) said on Sunday on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d that it will be \u201chard to govern\u201d if Republicans do not win 230 seats in the House in the upcoming midterm elections because people like Rep.

I do believe that the House is going to flip. In fact, I talked to Charlie Cook earlier in the morning. He believes that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd said, \u201cA small majority, does that make it more likely? Is that more trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upton said, \u201cMore trouble. That\u2019s why one of the vice-chairs there is so important as we try to have some glue on the fabric to deal with issues we have to deal with, be it immigration, be it energy, be it inflation. the debt ceiling also is going to be an early, early test in the next Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Todd asked, \u201cCan Kevin McCarthy both represent you and Marjorie Taylor Greene?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upton responded, \u201cHe can if he gets the margin. That\u2019s why this over-under number is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd said, \u201cYou think he may not become Speaker if it\u2019s under 230?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upton added, \u201cIt will be very hard to govern for Republicans if we\u2019re under 230 knowing that we\u2019ve got the MTG element that\u2019s really not a part of a governing majority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Todd said, \u201cWe\u2019ve had wild types of members of Congress since the history of this Republic \u2026 But Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, is that a different element than we\u2019ve seen before?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWhat does that tell you about the Republican Party?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upton said, \u201cTroubled waters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outgoing Rep.
