CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato tells “Morning News” predicts one of three types of possible types of “blue wave” in Tuesday’s election. He says there’s what he would call a “tsunami” where Democrats take both the House and Senate — but that just simply is not going to happen. There’s the “white cap” which would be Democrats picking up some House seats, but not enough to take a majority. He says the most likely scenario the way things look is a “medium” wave, with Democrats taking enough seats to control the House, and pick up governorships. But he predicts Republicans hold the Senate.

Indicators are a good turnout in the offing “for a midterm”. Sabato says midterm elections are notoriously sparsely attended, but this one might draw as many as 40-percent of eligible voters. He says while Democrats have been more motivated to vote during the course of the year, Republicans are also motivated. He says Democrats lately are incensed by the pipe bomber and the Pittsburgh shooter while President Trump has been exciting the Republican base by talking about the caravan “morning, noon, and night”.
