“We have the most jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in our history.” — Jon Husted, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show “I'm not predicting that we're going to win by 25 or seven. There are other issues. It's a midterm election in which the Republicans are in charge, which makes it harder … But the numbers look good. And if Republicans get out to vote like they have done in the past, we will win.” — Jon Husted, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show
