Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) is now the 30th Congressional Republican to say he won’t seek re-election, giving Democrats more hope for a turn around in the 2018 midterm elections. They’ll need to gain 24 seats to regain control of the House and a net gain of two to control the Senate. Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez says his party has been focusing on putting up more candidates in more races and concentrating on listening to voters. But will it be enough? He sits down with Soledad O’Brien for a discussion focused on the lessons learned in 2016, the Democratic strategy for 2018, and why he thinks Democrats can regain control of Congress.
