"It is Trump’s attempts to control parts of the electoral system, combined with the Big Lie, which gives Trump’s movement the motive and ability to ensure elections are neither free nor fair in 2026."

"But I also think [2026 midterms] will be sabotaged with gerrymandering, violations of voters rights and denial."

“I believe that there’s no guarantee that we are going to have a free and fair election in 2026.”

"If we want free and fair elections in 2026, the time to act is now."

"President Trump’s soon to be signed EO on elections will [e]nsure we have free and fair [2026 midterm] elections."

"Our [RNC] efforts ensured that the right rules were put in place before election day to guarantee safe and secure elections in 2024, and we intend to do the same in 2026."

"It is the policy of my Administration to enforce Federal law and to protect the integrity of our election process."

Will the 2026 U.S. Midterm Elections be Considered "Free and Fair"?

"If I had to bet today — and I tend to define bet as “regret later” — I’d put my chips on the Democrats."

"Donald Trump knows, his party knows, that they’re at risk of losing this election in 2026"

"A feasible path for the [Democratic] party to win the Senate is coming into focus."

"There is a 47.4% chance the Republican Party will control the US Senate in 2026."

"There is a 48% the Republican Party will win the US Senate in 2026."

"There is a 52% chance the Republican Party will control the Senate after the 2026 election."

"There is a 53.2% chance the Republicans will win a Senate Majority in 2026."

"Democrats face an uphill battle to capture the U.S. Senate in the November midterm elections."

"Republicans are favored to retain their majority in the Senate. "

"Democrats’ chance of winning a Senate majority in 2026 is nearly zero unless they do something dramatically different."

Will Republicans Maintain Control of the Senate After the November 2026 Midterm Elections?

All three Mamdani-backed candidates are members of or aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America and campaigned on abolishing ICE, raising taxes on the wealthy and opposing U.S. arms sales to Israel. The districts they won are considered safely Democratic ahead of November.

Jeffries said he and Mamdani had "agreed to strongly disagree" over endorsements, while the National Republican Congressional Committee said Tuesday marked "the night the Democrat establishment officially surrendered" to Mamdani and the socialist wing of the party.
