Fox News star Jesse Watters tosses in midterms towel on air before polls even close

Fox News’ Jesse Watters has already tossed in the towel with an on-air admission about how he sees the midterm elections going before the polls even close. “I don’t feel great,” he said on The Five Tuesday. “I feel like I’m about to play a game that I know I’m going to lose; I’m just trying not to get hurt. “And getting hurt would mean you lose the Senate. And right now the Senate is very much in play, and it’s making me angry.”Fox News’ Jesse Watters has already tossed in the towel with an on-air admission about how he sees the midterm elections going before the polls even close (Getty Images)Democrats need to flip four seats in the Senate and three seats in the House of Representatives to gain the majority.

Now if Trump was on the ballot, these guys would have already voted, you know. You’ve got two middle-aged white guys, they would have been there… but he’s not on the ballot,” Watters said. “So we’re just supposed to pretend, and we’re all pretending he’s on the ballot, but really deep down we know he’s not on the ballot.”This is a developing story...
