3 Things Republicans Need To Do Between Now And November To Win The Midterms
By: Scott S. Powell
January 28, 2026For Republicans to keep their congressional majority, President Donald Trump needs to deliver on three major unfinished initiatives.The Republican majority in the U.S. Congress may be at risk in the 2026 midterm elections. This is hard to believe, given recent approval polling on the Democrat Party. Last month, reputable Quinnipiac pollsters reported congressional Democrats hit a record low job approval of 18 percent, with 73 percent disapproval — the worst since tracking began in 2009.
Still, the Republican majorities in the Senate and particularly the House are at risk in the upcoming midterm elections if the base of the Republican Party is not motivated to vote. Historically, the president’s party generally loses seats in the midterms, particularly in the House. If this happens, the reform agenda of the Trump administration would be constrained, if not derailed. President Donald Trump says he will campaign this year for Republican candidates, but more importantly he needs to do several things to get out the vote, protect his agenda, and even increase the Republican congressional majority.
Most important, Trump needs to deliver on three major unfinished initiatives: First, fix the integrity of our national elections by mandating voter IDs, one-day vote casting and counting, and replacing digital voting machines with paper ballots. Second, make sure public officials and powerful private-sector figures who have committed felonies are visibly and successfully prosecuted in the next few months. Third, use all legal tools and precedents to arrest and prosecute perpetrators of mass felony crimes and reestablish law and order in blue cities and states that are experiencing urban lawlessness and industrial-scale fraud.
