https://www.youtube.com/watch/y7H_6JBb5lI The Uncomfortable Truth About Trump and the Midterms π¬π³οΈ | Chris Cillizza
Everything about the 2026 midterm elections flows through Donald Trump. The problem for Republicans is simple and terrifying: even they donβt know what heβs going to do next. π¬
In this video, I break down why Trumpβs lack of interest in midterm strategy is already freaking out GOP donors, candidates, and operatives β and why that should surprise exactly no one. Using new reporting from the Washington Post π°, polling data π, and hard historical math, I explain why the 2026 midterms are shaping up to be brutal for Republicans.
We cover:
π Why Trump is a day-to-day decision maker, not a master strategist βοΈ
π How midterms almost always punish unpopular presidents π
π The warning signs piling up for the GOP (retirements, special elections, polling) π¨
π Whether $300 million π° and a hoped-for economic rebound can save Republicans
π And the uncomfortable truth: Trump cares about Trump first β always
Bottom line: unless Trump suddenly decides that Republican losses would damage his legacy, history says the party is headed for real trouble in November 2026.
