"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 Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Louisiana v. Callais that the state's 6th Congressional District, represented by Democrat Cleo Fields, constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, significantly weakening Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Gov. Landry "has no choice but to suspend" the House primaries given the court's ruling and suggested the state hold an all-party election in November with a runoff in December. He also called on all states with unconstitutional maps to act before the midterms.

President Trump praised Landry on Truth Social for "moving so quickly" to revise Louisiana's congressional districts and urged Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to pursue redistricting, saying it "should give us one extra seat." Tennessee currently has one Democratic district centered in Memphis.
