Senate Majority Leader John Thune warns Republicans could lose the Senate

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) said he is concerned Republicans could lose control of the Senate in November’s midterm elections.

“I worry about that, for sure,” Thune told KELO, a TV station in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on Tuesday. “I’m a realist, and I just think you — I don’t ever try and sugarcoat things. I think it’s a competitive environment right now. I think we’ve got the highest-quality candidates.”
