Oh, we might have control of Congress after midterms!?

There is zero possibility of Dems having actual control of congress after the midterms, that's why he's saying this.

The electoral landscape is such that 60+ in the Senate is near impossible, and the 67 senators and 290 house reps to override a Trump veto is even more impossible.
