Former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller blames Mitch McConnell, lack of funds for failed 'red wave'
The big picture:
Miller pointed to mail-in voting as one hurdle for Republicans, claiming that by the time Republican Mehmet Oz began to resurge in the polls for his U.S. Senate race closer to election day, many people had already cast their ballots.
Miller pointed to abortion as an example. "Democrats don't need it to be a majority issue, they just need it to be an issue that they can target and activate the right voters with, with overwhelming enthusiasm. " Miller said that Democrats' intention to secure abortion rights if they won Congress was certain, while Republicans' ability to "shut down the border crisis" if they won both chambers of Congress was not.
"So you're going to lose these close races because the Republican brand, set by Mitch McConnell on down, is not exciting, is not persuasive, is not convincing to voters," Miller said.
