Something Is Going VERY Wrong Inside The Republican Party ……
A new report suggests Republicans are deeply worried about the 2026 midterms. Despite projecting confidence publicly, private polling reportedly shows serious trouble ahead. Historically, the president’s party almost always loses seats in midterms — and it’s worse when approval ratings are below 50%. Trump’s approval is currently in the low 40s or high 30s, with strong disapproval rising.
Democrats now lead the generic congressional ballot by double digits, and special elections throughout 2025 showed major Democratic overperformance, even in Republican-leaning districts. Economic concerns — especially inflation and tariffs — are hurting Republicans, and immigration, once their strongest issue, appears to be losing its advantage.
In response, Republicans have launched aggressive mid-decade redistricting efforts in several states, trying to redraw maps to protect their majority. However, experts warn that spreading voters across more competitive districts could backfire in a wave election.
With rising retirements among Republican lawmakers and growing concern even about the Senate, signs point to a difficult election cycle ahead. While it’s still early and conditions can change, current trends suggest Republicans are focused less on expanding power and more on limiting potential losses
