President Donald Trump is making waves with a bold prediction. He claims a ‘big, big surprise’ is coming for Democrats in the 2026 midterm elections. Blue states, he warns, might ‘totally disappear off the map.‘ Trump dismissed the common belief that the president’s party usually loses seats in midterms. He remains confident that Republicans will hold on to power in both chambers of Congress. Speaking to the Republican Governors Association, Trump expressed optimism. ‘I think the midterms are going to be a big, big surprise,’ he said. He pointed out that for eight elections in a row, midterms have been tough for the sitting president. But he believes this time will be different. ‘So far, we’re very popular,’ he assured his audience.
Trump’s war chest is overflowing
With a staggering $608 million at his disposal, Trump is ready to spend big. ‘I’ll be using it on my friends,’ he revealed, signaling financial backing for Republican candidates. Trump warned that Republican-leaning states will do well. As for blue states, he hinted at their decline: ‘Maybe they’ll totally disappear off that map.’ A CBS News poll shows Americans are giving Trump high marks. Many describe him as ‘tough,’ ‘energetic,’ ‘focused,’ and ‘effective.’ His approval ratings remain strong. The Cook Political Report predicts the GOP will likely keep control of the Senate. With a 53-47 majority, Democrats need to flip four seats, a tough challenge. The GOP has only a three-seat advantage in the House. However, they are crafting a strategy to keep their grip on power. Mobilizing Trump’s voter base is key.
Trump still a powerful force
‘He’s still here,’ said Rep. Richard Hudson, head of the National Republican Congressional Committee. Trump’s presence at rallies and in mail campaigns makes him an invaluable asset. Though he can’t run for a third term, Trump is amassing a war chest. He will use it to support allies, challenge rivals, and secure a Republican victory in 2026. Marking one month into his second term, Trump boasted of his administration’s achievements. ‘We’ve had the best four weeks anyone’s ever had. A few more weeks like this, and we’ll be in great shape,’ he declared. Trump has moved swiftly to reshape the government. He eliminated diversity and gender protections in federal hiring. He cut government spending and reinforced the idea of two genders. Under Trump, border security is a priority. His administration has taken aggressive steps to control immigration.
Massive fundraising success
Trump’s financial support remains strong. ‘We raised $608 million in three weeks. Can you believe that?’ he said. With laughter from the audience, Trump joked about his spending plans. ‘I can’t spend it on me. So, I guess I’ll be spending it on my friends, right? A lot of my friends.‘ Trump took a shot at Democrats over gender issues. He believes common sense is on the GOP’s side. ‘Men in women’s sports is not a winner for them,’ he argued. With momentum, money, and voter support, Trump and the GOP are gearing up for a big win. If his prediction holds, the 2026 midterms could change the political map forever.
