After quiet off-year elections, Democrats renew worries about Trump interfering in the midterms
Democrats warn Trump may use redistricting pressure, voter ID laws, and executive actions to influence the 2026 midterms amid fears of political retaliation.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to pass voter ID laws and urged red states to redraw maps, warning `You gotta win the midterms`.
- Facing that record, Democrats highlight months of unilateral actions, including a Venezuela invasion, a freeze on $7.35 billion from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in five deep-blue states, and polls showing 53% Democratic midterm support.
- Turning to foreign policy, Trump rejected María Corina Machado and signaled recognition of Delcy Rodríguez while warning Rodríguez she would pay `a very high price`, and Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff, launched a tirade against `tin-pot dictators` Monday night.
- Democrats argue these moves give them material to try to remove Trump if they win the House, while Republican lawmakers appear unsettled about midterm prospects, raising legal risks tied to ex‑special counsel Jack Smith.
- Historical patterns suggest the presidential penalty and Democratic gains in Tennessee, Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania could harm Republicans in 2026.
