'We are hungry to win': Democratic leaders can't wait for November
Democrats have a great chance of taking the House back this November and they can hardly wait.
Between Trumps never-ending scandals and Republican efforts to destroy health care and kowtow to the wealthy, Democrats around the country are fired up at the chance to take control of Congress in November.
We are hungry to win in November, said Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), in an interview with Shareblue Media. We are hungry to take back the majority.
Opposition to Trump, and the culture of corruption surrounding him and his Republican Party, is one motivating factor for both grassroots activists and members of Congress. Voters want a check on Trump, something his own party has refused to do.

Heading into the home stretch of the 2018 midterms, a range of Democratic candidates around the country are generating buzz and excitement. New York candidate Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is energizing the progressive base, while the more moderate Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) won a stunning upset in a deep-red Pennsylvania special election.
Polling has consistently shown that Republicans are at serious risk of losing the House this November. Pocan, Himes, Pelosi, and Democratic candidates across the country are hungry to retake control of Congress and start the hard work of cleaning up the mess Trump and his party have made. -
