Trump's 5-step push to keep GOP control of the House in '26
- President Donald Trump is leading an early and aggressive effort to secure Republican control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
- This push follows the GOP’s narrow 220-212 seat majority, multiple impeachment proceedings, and previous midterm losses since 2018.
- Trump’s strategy includes persuading Republicans to remain in their seats, deploying a $500 million political apparatus, launching a $10 million ad campaign, and issuing endorsements to swing-district incumbents.
- Trump’s fundraising efforts have now raised over $600 million as he stresses the importance of investing heavily to secure control of the House, warning that failure to do so could lead to challenging consequences over the next two years. Meanwhile, RNC Finance Chair JD Vance is overseeing the strategic coordination of these resources.
- Trump’s efforts aim to block a House majority flip that Democrats could use to launch further investigations, while the upcoming midterms are expected to be fiercely contested.
