President Trump on Friday questioned why the Republican Party imposes term limits for committee chairs, suggesting it’s why there has been an exodus of House Republicans choosing not to defend their seats in the 2018 midterm elections.

“The House is probably tougher,” Trump said about whether Republicans will be able to hang onto their majority in the lower chamber. “We have a lot of chairmen that left because they’re chairmen for six years, and then they don’t want to stay because they can’t be chairmen.”
