A retiring GOP lawmaker warned Sunday that House Republicans may face “troubled waters” and find it “hard to govern” after the November midterm elections if his party takes back the majority with fewer than 230 seats.

Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, made the comments on NBC’s Meet the Press after being asked how he thought the next wave of GOP leadership could govern. Asked specifically whether he thought a Republican-led House would allow the federal government to default on its debt, the retiring congressman said that “a lot depends” on the margin by which his party retakes the body.
