Dr Shola wags finger at guest in furious midterms clash over Biden

A pro-Trump political commentator has been locked in a furious clash with a British activist over the US midterm elections and the prospect of the ‘biggest bout of election denials’. US broadcaster and Republican supporter Scottie Nell Hughes spoke with Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, British political activist on Sky News ahead of the midterms, claiming the Democrats will deny the election results when they ‘are clearly not in their favour’, reversing accusations made against Donald Trump supporters after they claimed the 2020 Presidential election had been fraudulent. Ms Hughes said: ‘When the Democrats wake up and those races that have been decided are clearly not in their favour, we’re about to hear the biggest bout of election denials and that is going to be all the way from dogcatcher to federal offices like Senator.’ As the pro-Trump commentator continued, Dr Shola broke out into a wide smile and started waving her finger in disagreement. Ms Hughes continued: ‘And I love what Shola says, I appreciate her compliments, but the reality is she can get away with her argument, except for the fact it is the Democrats that are in power for both the House, the Senate and the Oval office, so you cannot blame the Republicans. ‘That’s why we are in the state that we are in, which is also why I do believe you will be seeing President Trump taking advantage of the momentum of tomorrow and take full credit for a lot of the power being taken back in the House and Senate despite them losing it during the Trump administration.  Scottie Nell Hughes and Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu debated the US midterm elections on Sky News (Image: SKY NEWS ) US President Joe Biden’s hopes of re-election could be damage by the midterms (Image: GETTY )’Yes, I do think you will be seeing a Trump announcement coming soon but I also think that just gears up for more prosecution coming from the FBI and others who have been trying to continue to make sure they find Donald Trump in handcuffs.’ Do Shola said: ‘Oh my goodness, I think, Scottie, you and I agree on something, though. We agree that Trump is going to try to come back to run again and take credit. Absolutely. That is his DNA.’ More than 41 million people have already cast their ballots as part of early voting, with tens of millions more expected to have their say. The Republicans need to gain seats in the House to win a majority, while they need just one to take the Senate. The races are also being closely watched for any gains made by candidates who still believe the lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election, such as gubernatorial candidate for Pennsylvania Dough Mastriano. READ MORE: ‘Americans go to the polls today as a divided people’ [INSIGHT]  Donald Trump could announce his 2024 campaign if the midterms are successful (Image: GETTY )A tumultuous election season that tugged again at America’s searing political divides and raised questions about its commitment to a democratic future will come to a close on Tuesday as voters cast ballots in the first national election of Joe Biden’s presidency.Democrats are braced for disappointing results, anxious that their grip on the US House may be slipping and that their hold on the US Senate – once seen as more secure – has loosened. The party’s incumbent governors in places like Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada are also staring down serious Republican challengers.Returning to the White House on Monday night after his final campaign event, Mr Biden said he thought Democrats would keep the Senate but acknowledged ‘the House is tougher’.DON’T MISS: Republican exposes ‘only thing that can save Democrats’ in midterms [REVEAL] Donald Trump to wage ‘full-scale’ campaign after red wave in midterms [REPORT] Trump to officially launch his 2024 White House bid in next 24 hours [REVEAL]  Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano maintains the 2020 election was stolen (Image: GETTY )The Republican Party, aka the GOP, was optimistic about its prospects, betting that messaging focused on the economy, gas prices and crime will resonate with voters at a time of soaring inflation and rising violence. Ultimately, they’re confident that outrage stemming from the Supreme Court’s decision to eliminate a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion has faded and that the midterms have become a more traditional assessment of the president’s performance.If Republicans have an especially strong election, winning Democratic congressional seats in places like New Hampshire or Washington state, pressure could build for Biden to opt against reelection in 2024. Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, may try to capitalise on GOP gains by formally launching another bid for the White House during a ‘very big announcement’ in Florida next week.READ NEXT: Trump in danger of being at ‘end of road’ in midtermsBiden warned Putin Russia ‘back at it’ to hurt Democrats with ‘chaos’Boris Johnson a US favourite: Exclusive poll has him as popular choiceBiden warned to brace as Midterms could spark ‘mini January 6ths’ riotBiden braced as midterms threaten to trigger a ‘political crisis’
