"I’m very, very bullish about the midterms. I know that we are going to win because we have a great record to run on"

"[MAGA voters] will need to show up at the ballot box; President Trump and Republicans are going to make that happen.”

"If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS."

"[Trump voters] won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running."

“If we [GOP] are where we are today in the beginning of the second quarter [of 2026], then I think we’re in for a really rough time in November.”

“If we fail to pass legislation that permanently secures the border, addresses the affordability crisis, improves healthcare, and restores law and order, we [GOP] will lose this majority.”

“Our best shot was the first 6-9 months. And when Republicans likely lose the midterms it will become total and complete political war and gridlock once again.”

"I think we will win them back, probably all of them, maybe more, in this election, and Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker of the House."

"Next [2026] year when we will take back control of the House of Representatives."

“He’s going to definitely deal with a Democratic House. I think it’s more likely that he’ll be dealing with a Democratic Senate.”

Will the Republicans Lose Control of Either Houses of Congress in the 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections?

The Department of Homeland Security partial shutdown reached its 47th day on Wednesday, marking the longest such funding lapse in U.S. history. The shutdown began in mid-February after Congress failed to pass a full DHS funding bill.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced a two-track plan Wednesday to fund DHS, pairing a bipartisan appropriations bill with a party-line reconciliation measure to cover ICE and Border Patrol separately.

Trump endorsed the two-track approach Wednesday, calling on Republicans to deliver a reconciliation bill funding ICE and Border Patrol to his desk by June 1, bypassing the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold without Democratic support.

Democrats had refused to fund ICE and Border Patrol without new enforcement restrictions, including a ban on agents wearing masks and a requirement for judicial warrants before entering private property to make arrests.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said "Republican divisions derailed a bipartisan agreement," while Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., opposed the plan, posting that "caving to Democrats and not paying CBP and ICE" was a "NO" vote for him.

The shutdown caused widespread TSA staffing shortages and long airport security lines. Trump signed an executive order directing TSA workers be paid from existing funds, and agents began receiving backpay earlier this week.
