President Donald Trump said Friday that Republicans could lose the House and that Democrats may "squeak" by in Tuesday's midterms — and if it happens, it will be because he wasn't able to campaign in every district.

"You know, I'm not saying they don't squeak it by, maybe, because they got a lot of races," Trump said during a rally in West Virginia, referring to Democrats gaining control of the House.


"I can't go everywhere," he said.

If that happens, Trump said, Democrats would want to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and create a "giant sanctuary" for criminals and "MS-13 killers." Some liberal activists support getting rid of the enforcement agency, but the issue is divisive among Democrats.

"A blue wave equals a crime wave. You don't hear too much about the blue wave anymore, do you," the president said. "Remember a couple of months ago, 'Oh, the blue wave, oh, the blue wave.' Now they don't talk."

Most projections indicate that Democrats are expected to do well on Tuesday's midterms and will likely back take control of the House from GOP hands. But expectations have dimmed that Democrats will deliver a blow-out that gives them control of the Senate as well.

Trump said he would find a way to work with a divided Congress.

"My whole life, you know what I say? 'Don't worry about it, I'll just figure it out.'" he said. "Does that make sense? I'll figure it out."
