The Republican National Committee chairwoman is rating her party�s chances of retaining control of the House at �50-50.�

Ronna McDaniel is cautioning that Democrats will seek to make the November elections about President Donald Trump and �personality� � but it�s the results that matter.

She acknowledges an uphill House fight because of a wave of GOP retirements and numerous �seats in the margin.� Democrats need a net gain of 23 seats to flip control.

McDaniel says the RNC has raised $250 million and trained more field organizers than before, so turnout efforts are the �best it�s ever been.�

She tells CBS�s �Face the Nation� that the party holding the White House traditionally loses seats in a president�s first midterm election and Republicans could �defy history� by picking up Senate seats.
