House Republicans 'surprised' by lack of red wave in midterms, but focused overall win, subpoena power
Fox News
House Republicans are excited to have subpoena power as a majority, but expressed confusion and disappointment in the midterm underperformances that limit their advantage.
Rep. Rick Allen, R.-Ga., told Fox News Digital during the House GOP candidate forum Monday evening that he was unsure why so many Americans voted for Democrats when a clear consensus preferred Republicans on key issues such as the economy. Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"I think we were all surprised," Rep. Rick Allen, R-Ga., told Fox News Digital. "We were seeing numbers like 20% of people preferring the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. But for whatever reason, that didn't show up at the ballot box."
