And in 2010, there was that shellacking of Democrats in President Obama's first midterm.
But in 2018, in President Trump's first term, while Republicans lost the House, yes, in what's become known as a blue wave, the GOP actually expanded their power in the Senate.
And because of redistricting, the congressional maps look very different this time around.
So today, we're looking at how both parties are positioning themselves either to keep or to try to take control of Congress next year.
I'll be talking to two people who are at the crux of those decisions.
At the center of the Trump effect campaign is Republican operative James Blair.
He was a key player in the 2024 presidential campaign, and now he's the man controlling the purse strings for MAGA Inc.
That's the Trump super PAC.
I want to find out exactly how he thinks a Trump-focused campaign can win without Donald Trump on the ballot.
Can Republicans overcome all the headwinds that the GOP is facing right now?
Then there's Democrats.
They have a very different challenge.
They're trying to conduct a symphony, essentially, of very divergent voices all around the country.
So they actually sound like they're singing from some version of the same song.
Part of that will be a job for California Congressman Pete Aguilar.
He's the chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
He's the number three House Dem.
And that means he's in charge of messaging.
I want to find out if he thinks the 2018 playbook can work again in 2026 and how Democrats can try to drive the conversation in Donald Trump's Washington.
So how are Republicans hoping to defy history?
