Inside Trump’s Secret Weapon To Smash The Polls And Rule Congress

Latest News DAILY WIRE POLITIKOOL · LATEST NEWS

A Daily Wire opinion writer argues that Republicans are better placed for November's midterms than history and Democratic commentators suggest. Since 1938, the president's party has lost seats in 19 of 21 House elections and 16 of 21 Senate elections, yet the writer contends several factors favor the GOP this year.

Chief among them is President Donald Trump's rally schedule, which may top 30 events in about six weeks and energizes local and state turnout operations. CNN analyst Harry Enten is cited as noting that September polls understated Republican support by five to nine points in key states in 2018 and 2024, and that a three-point miss this year would hand Republicans both chambers.

The author also points to four to six House seats gained through mid-decade redistricting, a GOP party-committee cash edge of roughly $100 million, and super PAC money estimated near half a billion dollars, including $400 million for MAGA, Inc. and $250 million tied to Elon Musk. Democrats, the author says, nominated weak, radical candidates such as James Talarico and Abdul El Sayed, while Republicans field steadier ones like John Sununu, Michele Tafoya and Rep. Mike Lawler.
