Seeing that we’re less than nine months from the 2026 Midterm elections, in which even the Republicans KNOW they are gonna lose their slim US House majority, and the Speaker’s‘ gavel?…
The Worrying HAS begun in the Senate ….
Trump continued screwups domestic and international , could very well cost Republicans their US Senate control, and THAT WOULD put their leader ole’ Donald in a Bad place for the last two years of his final term in office…
Senate Republicans are concerned that public backlash to President Trump’s handling of the economy and his aggressive deportation policies could give rise to a Democratic wave that not only sweeps away the House Republican majority, but also threatens their own three-seat majority in the upper chamber.
The latest alarm bell rang over the weekend when Democratic candidate Taylor Rehmet won a state Senate seat in a North Texas district that President Trump won by 17 points in 2024, a stunning upset that GOP senators say should serve as a “wake-up call” heading into November.
One GOP senator who attended a Tuesday briefing at the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) said concern over the approaching midterms “should be very, very high.”
The lawmaker called Saturday’s loss in the Texas special election “a wake-up call” and said Republican senators in battleground states, such as Sen. Susan Collins (R) in Maine and retiring Sen. Thom Tillis (R) in North Carolina, have repeatedly warned Senate colleagues that the party faces a “deteriorating” political environment…
…
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called Rehmet’s 14-point victory in Tarrant County despite being heavily outspent by his Republican opponent “a rough night.”
“It underscores the need for Republican turnout in November,” he warned.
Republicans think they have a good chance of keeping control of the upper chamber, but they’re not dismissing the possibility that a Democratic wave could grow so large that it sweeps Democrats to victory in Republican-leaning states such as Ohio, Alaska or possibly Iowa…
…
A second Republican senator who requested anonymity told The Hill that voters across the political spectrum aren’t happy with Trump’s handling of the economy and inflation, and a growing number of independents are turned off by his administration’s aggressive deportation tactics in Minneapolis.
“Republicans are right to be worried about the midterms,” the lawmaker said. “You can feel when the water temperature changes, and it feels like it’s going to change in a second.”…
…
Some Republicans fear Trump’s unpopularity is spreading to some GOP incumbents….

Note…
Trump IS working HARD to drive his party out of power in the Congress and across state and local government…
‘Revenge’ IS turning up for the Democrats advantage it would seem, eh?
