Democrats are tamping down expectations for a "blue wave" two weeks before the midterm elections as key races in the House tighten and winning back the Senate majority looks increasingly out of reach.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Tom Perez said on CNN's "New Day" that he doesn't use the term "blue wave," and added that he's always thought this year's races would be close.

Separately, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who's campaigning for Democratic candidates, said he doesn't believe in a blue wave.

"I know a lot of people talk about this blue wave. I don't believe it," Sanders told "Rising" Hill.TV co-host Krystal Ball.

"I happen to think that on election night you're going to find a very close situation and maybe a handful of votes determining whether Democrats are gaining control of the House," he said.
