Scoop: "Delusional" Senate forecast rattles Sea Island retreat

During the National Republican Senatorial Committee's retreat in Sea Island, Georgia, a pollster for Senate Republicans presented a forecast on Saturday suggesting the party could expand its majority in the upcoming November midterm elections. The projection was met with immediate disbelief and described as "delusional" by at least one attendee.

The sharp pushback from donors and operatives underscores underlying anxieties within the party regarding its electoral prospects and the accuracy of internal polling ahead of the midterms.
