Sen. Lindsey Graham predicted that Republicans would reclaim power in the House of Representatives if Sen. Bernie Sanders secures the 2020 Democratic nomination.

"Let me tell you: A Sanders candidacy is great news for President Trump. It is great news for Republicans in the House and the Senate," the South Carolina said Thursday night on Fox News.

"Looks like Bernie's going to win the nomination unless something dramatically changes," he continued, "but, if you're a down-ballot Democrat in the Midwest, in the South, Bernie Sanders is your worst nightmare. I think we take the House back with Bernie for sure."

The comment came the day after Rep. Ralph Abraham announced he will be retiring from Congress. The Republican congressman became the 23rd House GOP member to announce they will be leaving at the end of their term.

Rep. Jim Jordan predicted a 2020 victory for President Trump on Thursday and that Republicans can win a majority in the House, which Democrats took control of following the 2018 midterm elections, if he "wins big."

"He is going to get a second term," the Ohio Republican said. "He’s going to win. There’s a good chance that the president wins big, and, if he wins big, we can take back the House. I do think that’s going to happen."
