BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 05/26/18 07:00 AM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in an interview with The Hill said he thinks Republicans can make a play for Democratic Sen. Sherrod Browns seat in Ohio.
Brown previously hadnt been a top target of McConnells, who just last week left Ohio off a list of Democratic-held seats he saw as top midterm targets.
His new comments point to the growing optimism among Republicans that they can widen the map, and that their electoral prospects are improving with a strengthening economy and an uptick in President Trumps approval numbers.
I saw a survey within the last week in Ohio indicating that race is very competitive. I would certainly add Ohio to the list, McConnell told The Hill.

This has already been the longest recovery since WWII (Thank you, Mr. Obama). Remember the old saw: "The next recession is always just around the corner; it's just a question of how close that corner is!"
By the way, am I the only one who's skeptical about those 'record low unemployment numbers?'

Hasn't sunk in yet, either.
