WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 14th August, 2018) A growing US economy will help Republicans hold on to their majority in the US House of Representatives following this years midterm elections in November, National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said in an interview on Tuesday.

Kudlow told Politico the United States is experiencing very good economic times and the midterm elections will be a "report card" on the issue.

The Republicans are expected to lose some seats but will keep the majority in the House of Representatives, Kudlow said.

Kudlow, who is US President Donald Trumps top economic adviser, dismissed concerns over stagnant wages and soaring national debt as factors that could dampen the publics perception of the state of the US economy.

The Democrats need a net gain of 23 seats to retake the House of Representatives, according to published reports.

Trump often talks of the countrys economic indicators, including an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, to highlight his accomplishments since taking office in 2017.

Kudlow also said that he sees a real momentum regarding the negations between the United States and the European Union to avoid a trade war.
