LewandowskiTrump faces tricky choice on Supreme Court pick How Trump can win reelection: Focus on Democrats, not himself Trump Jr. distances from Bannon group, says he attended 'single' event MORE warned on Sunday that the country will “go backwards” if Democrats win back the House during the 2018 midterm elections.

“What is at stake in that midterm is the direction of the country,” Lewandowski told radio host John Catsimatidis on New York’s AM 970 during an interview that aired Sunday.

“The question is, do we continue to have a strong vibrant economy that is pro-business, pro-job growth,” he said, “Or do we go backwards and elect a Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi [D-Calif.] again, who wants to not only bring back the tax cuts and implement more taxes.”

“She believes, like the socialists who are winning in New York, everyone should have free health care, everyone should have free education,” Lewandowski continued, seemingly referring to congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist who won a Democratic primary in New York last month in a surprise victory against 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley.

Pelosi has said that "Medicare for all" is “on the table” if Democrats win back the House in the fall, but has not fully backed the policy.

“If the Democrats take control of the House of Representatives they will move to impeach this president and stop his agenda, and we will move our country backwards,” Lewandowski said.

A pair of polls released this week show Democrats leading in the generic House ballot.

Democrats face a stiff challenge to secure 23 seats in the midterm elections to take back control of the House.
