2026 Election Preview

The midterm elections of 2026 will have an immense impact on the last two years of President Donald Trump’s final term.

If the Democrats pull off a massive upset and win the Senate, they have vowed to use their clout to block any Supreme Court nominations. Suppose they win control of the House of Representatives. In that case, President Trump is unlikely to pass any sweeping changes to economic policy, the culture wars, or voting rights. A Democratic House could subpoena Trump officials and launch investigations

Just as the Democratic wave of 2018 shut down much of the agenda of President Trump’s first term agenda – and twice impeached him – this election could be crucial in establishing how America will deal with many issues over the next two years.

I will highlight key Senate races across the country that will determine control of the Upper Chamber. We will also look at the elections here in Illinois and examine how this will begin to shape the field for the 2028 presidential election.
