Rep. Warren Davidson, seeking reelection in Ohio's 8th Congressional District, said Tuesday on Newsmax that he's optimistic about Republicans regaining majorities in Congress, but he noted that "unfortunately, we're going to have to wait until 2025 to clear the White House of their current plans."
"They act like they're naive, but the reality is, they're doing all this, inflicting all these bad policies on our country," Davidson, an Ohio Republican, said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," adding that voters will "send a clear message that we have to change course."
Meanwhile, Davidson said early voting in Ohio and in his district, which lies on the state's border with Indiana, is skewing heavily toward Democrats and that the numbers of early voters are comparable to those in 2018.
"Republicans are increasingly saying there should be an Election Day, not an election month, and we should vote in person," he said. "I have talked to a lot of people who are going to vote at the Board of Elections rather than choosing the absentee system."
Davidson also on Tuesday discussed President Joe Biden's promise to shut down coal-fired power plants in exchange for wind and solar power.
"Biden is trying to have it both ways," Davidson said. "He's berating the energy companies, saying they should drill and explore. Meanwhile, he's promising no drilling and promising an end to fossil fuels. He pointed out that nobody is mentioning that steel can't be made without coal.
"Steelmaking is huge in Ohio and western Pennsylvania and vital for the United States for national security. This idea of we're going to have a war on coal isn't going to play out."
