Republican National Committee chairman Michael Whatley is looking to stall the longstanding anti-incumbent midterm trends, rather than see the GOP hurt in 2026.
This from washingtonexaminer.com.
Whatley told Fox News he has planned a “significant” role from President-elect Donald Trump in the midterm elections and will seek to build GOP state parties across the country.
He said:
We need to make sure we are building our state parties, that we’re building our ground game, we’re building our election integrity apparatus to be in place to make sure that when we get those candidates through those primaries in ‘26, that we’re going to be in a position to take them all the way to the finish line.
Trump lost (had stolen from him) the House in 2018 after winning in 2016, and the communists/globalists perform the same election fraud in 2022.
Whatley said:
President Trump is going to be a very significant part of this because at the end of the day, what we need to do is hold on to the House, hold on to the Senate so that we can finish his term and his agenda.
Further:
[Trump will be] very active on the campaign trail for Republicans [and] his agenda is the agenda that we’re going to be running on.
Even though Republicans were behind in the fundraising race for the White House, Whatley is confident they will be more competitive in the midterm elections.
He said:
We’re pretty excited about where we are in terms of the fundraising that we did throughout the course of this cycle and what we’re going to do going forward.
Whatley said they will stick to their strategy of targeting “low-propensity voters,” a group they prioritized in the 2024 election. They will also continue appealing to demographics Republicans historically have not: Black voters, Hispanics and Asian American voters.
As for 2028, Whatley said they will stay neutral in what is likely to be a highly-contested presidential primary. He suggested that Trump’s movement will continue beyond his final term as president.
He explained:
[The] America First movement is bigger than Donald Trump. He is the tip of the spear. He is the vanguard of this movement.
But. It is a very big movement right now…as we go into 2028, we are in a great position to be able to continue the momentum of this agenda and this movement.
The 2026 midterm elections will see every House seat contested, at least 35 Senate seats, and 39 gubernatorial elections.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team and to the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
