An ex-White House aide for Donald Trump broke down why it’s a telling sign that lawyers at her old stomping grounds are reportedly preparing for a Democratic-controlled Congress ahead of November’s midterm elections.
“I think that they see the writing on the wall,” said Sarah Matthews, who served as White House deputy secretary in Trump’s first term, in a Tuesday appearance on MS NOW. “They know that the midterms are going to be brutal for them.”
Matthews — a Trump critic since her resignation in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — noted that midterms are historically not good for the party of the president and, this time around, voters feel “a lot of buyer’s remorse.”
“They feel like they’ve been bamboozled by this administration,” said Matthews, referring to Trump not following through on his 2024 pledges to bring down prices and to be a “peace” president.
She added, “In fact, he’s done the complete opposite of it.”
