"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."

“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.”

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

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

The House Ethics Committee issued a rare public statement Monday defending its record on sexual misconduct investigations and urging victims to come forward, following the resignations of Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales amid allegations involving former staffers.

Of the 28 disclosed investigations, the committee found violations in seven cases and cleared seven others. In 13 instances it lost jurisdiction when the member left Congress, including the probes into Swalwell and Gonzales following their resignations.

The committee acknowledged that its "greatest hurdle" is convincing vulnerable witnesses to share their stories, and said it does not release interview transcripts or disclose the sources of allegations in order to protect witness confidentiality.

The panel noted that reforms to the Congressional Accountability Act enacted in 2018 required automatic referrals for member reimbursements of sexual harassment settlements paid from U.S. Treasury funds, and said it has received no such notifications since that law took effect.
