Next Up with Mark Halperin · How the 2026 Midterms Will ACTUALLY Unfold for Republicans · 17 Sep 2026 podcast

And uh I don't know. voice-verified

And I'm not gonna tell you today who's gonna win, but here's what I'm gonna tell you. voice-verified

The way if you if you listen to cable news, if you read uh most of the political analysis voice-verified

Here's the conventional wisdom right now. voice-verified

Uh the environment is for the Democrats. voice-verified

Uh presidential the president's party does poorly almost always in the midterms. voice-verified

The president's approval rating is bad. voice-verified

The Oran is a drag on Republicans, uh the price of gas, the price of food, et cetera. voice-verified

But that the losses will be limited. voice-verified

It will not be the kind of overwhelming level of loss that you normally see in a midterm, uh particularly when the president's approval rating is low like President Trump says, because redistricting put off limits a number of Republican seats, a large number of Republican seats. voice-verified

And um voice-verified

And then on the Senate side a lot of the competitive Senate races that Republicans would have to lose, Democrats would have to win to get the net for for the majority would uh are in red states that President Trump won easily in there. voice-verified

And so voice-verified

Probably I would say again, just looking at all the conventional wisdom, Democrats will take the House and they'll either take the Senate exactly netting four seats or they'll just come short, they'll they'll win three. voice-verified

Uh the betting markets are along those lines. voice-verified

Uh so we're talking about uh in the House maybe twelve to twenty net democratic pickups. voice-verified

Again, it's kind of the conventional wisdom norm. voice-verified

Or voice-verified

And in the Senate uh again, j right on that line between taking the majority or not. voice-verified

I got a different view, and I'm not saying that couldn't happen. voice-verified
