House Democrat running in deep-red Arkansas says the race is ‘tight and winnable’

Chris Jones, the Democrat challenging Republican Rep. French Hill in Arkansas's second congressional district, told NBC's Meet the Press NOW on Oct. 27 that his campaign is "tight and winnable." The interview aired a week before Election Day, in a state NBC labels deep-red, and gave Jones a platform to argue that he can take the seat from the incumbent, according to NBC News.

Jones also used the appearance to criticize the Trump administration, saying he sees corruption emanating from the White House. He was asked as well whether President Trump ought to face impeachment.

The segment is one of many midterm interviews NBC News has run as the election closes in. Others have featured Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls in Nevada and Kansas, an Ohio House contest, Ohio governor candidate Amy Acton and an ad that used her estranged mother, and a discussion of how Republicans are on defense in traditionally red states. Steve Kornacki also analyzed Susan Collins's prospects in Maine.
