US EditionTrump's 5-step push to keep GOP control of the House in '26
- President Donald Trump is orchestrating a five-step strategy to maintain Republican control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
- This strategy responds to the GOP's narrow eight-seat majority and Trump's desire to prevent a House flip that could trigger investigations into him and his allies.
- Trump's efforts include persuading incumbents to stay, endorsing swing-district Republicans early, coordinating with the RNC under Vice Chair JD Vance, and launching a $10 million pro-Republican ad campaign.
- Trump has amassed more than $600 million to support Republican candidates in the 2026 midterms, plans to play a major role in election spending, and has urged his allies to invest heavily to secure control of the House, warning that failure could lead to difficult consequences in the following two years.
- If Republicans lose the House, Trump's legislative agenda may stall and Democrats could initiate fresh investigations, making the 2026 cycle highly consequential for his political future.
