GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned over signs the 2026 midterm elections could be a wipeout for Republicans that could cost them control of the House and shave down their Senate majority by two or three seats.
There’s growing anxiety in the Senate and House GOP conferences that Trump’s sinking approval rating will create a headwind in swing states and districts.
But GOP lawmakers say they still have time to improve their party’s image before next November.

A Republican I spoke to was fully convinced that living in a state with more land per capita should make each person’s vote worth more, while those living in a densely populated state should expect their votes to be worth less. He thought it was perfectly reasonable for someone moving from California to Wyoming to have the value of their vote increase by almost 4x. He balked when asked if the value of a Wyoming vote should decrease by 75% when the voter moved to California.
I can only imagine the impassioned whining if the situation were reversed and biased for liberals.
This is a boring narrative. The system isn’t stacked in favor of the GOP, it’s stacked in favor of parties that play by the actual rules. If a party can’t make a compelling message to multiple different states, it’s on them.
Hahahaha WHAT?
The rules are get 270 electoral votes, not get the most votes. This generally requires winning the majority of states.
