Jon Stewart: GOP will win Senate and more
Jon Stewart says he didn’t cast a ballot on Tuesday for the midterm elections because he moved to a different state and didn’t know where his polling place was located.
“I just moved. I don’t even know where my thing is now,” the “Daily Show” host told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, when asked whether he had voted.
{mosads}When pressed about moving to a different state, Stewart replied coyly, “I can’t. … We’ve got a whole thing going on.”
But the straight-faced comedian had a lot to share with Amanpour on which political party would come out on top by the end of Election Day.
“If I’m listening to the people that know these things, and study these things — because that’s not what we do — the Republicans are going to win the Senate,” replied Stewart, who was promoting his directorial debut with “Rosewater,” the new movie he also wrote.
And he didn’t stop there. “[Republicans are] going to increase the House, they’re going to win the Supreme Court and the judiciary, and they’re going to win a lot of the restaurants and lobbyists. They’re going to win K Street.”
“So the only thing that they don’t get, I think, it the presidency in this election,” Stewart quipped. “But, if it goes the way they want, enough votes, they may get that too. [President] Obama may have to leave as well.”
