SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci predicted on Wednesday that Democrats will flip the House, while Republicans have a real shot at holding the Senate in a “closer” race.
Trump’s Shy Voters
Scaramucci said on X that Democrats have a roughly 15-seat gain in the lower chamber while Republicans shift resources from vulnerable House races to defend their Senate majority where things, where he believes the race is “closer.”
The Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) bull flagged Maine, Texas, and Kansas as pivotal Senate contests which are “inside the margin of error.”
Scaramucci argued that ongoing polls do not reflect the ground sentiment as voters deny supporting him because they do not want to appear “racist” or aligned with an “unpopular” figure. The same people, he added, go and eventually vote for Trump.
“He’s [Trump] constantly been under-polled. Which means he has a real chance to keep the Senate,” Scaramucci added.
Prediction Markets Are Pricing in a Democratic Sweep
Cryptocurrency punters, however, are not on board with Scaramucci. Polygon (CRYPTO: POL)-based Polymarket currently gives Democrats a 67% chance of winning both chambers of Congress, while Republicans retaining the Senate but losing the House stands at 28%.
The elections are scheduled for Nov. 3.
Approval ratings for Trump are trending lower and hitting new lows. A Washington Post/ABC News/Ipsos poll for October showed Trump with a 33% approval rating, as voters grew increasingly concerned about rising prices and the economy.
Scaramucci himself has been an outspoken critic of Trump’s policies, arguing that the president had inflicted “self-harm” on the economy, while describing the president’s tariffs as “an unmitigated disaster.”
