Kellyanne Conway describes another problem to derail GOP’s midterm chances
January 28, 2026 | Mariane Angela
Former Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway warned Tuesday that Republican midterm prospects face another threat, one that could further weaken the party’s chances of success.
Conway said on “The Ingraham Angle” that midterm elections routinely punish the party in power. The White House plans to counteract that by publicizing its policy wins to voters. She added that Republicans must “stave off retirements.”
“I’m worried a lot more Republicans want to retire this year rather than hang on there and grow our slim majority. Democrats have no answer except ‘Trump, Trump, Trump,’” Conway told host Laura Ingraham.
Congress is set to change significantly during President Donald Trump’s final two years in office. A historically large share of House members have already decided against running for reelection in 2026, with more lawmakers expected to step aside in the months ahead. As of late January 2026, exactly 28 Republican members of the U.S. House and 21 Democratic members have announced they will not seek re-election this year, according to Ballotpedia’s tracker of incumbents not running again.
