Former Trump White House official Marc Short told Politico’s Dasha Burns that the Democratic Party will likely dominate the 2026 midterms.
In an appearance on CSPAN’s Ceasefire alongside Democratic strategist Adrienne Elrod, Short said that the Republican Party is already set to endure heavy losses in the upcoming elections.
“I think it’s going to be a really steep climb, Dasha,” said Short, in relation to GOP midterm efforts. “The reality is that Americans like divided government. They don’t want one party in control. Each time there’s been one party in control, there’s been a backlash.”
The once chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence noted that in previous midterms, the incumbent party is much more vulnerable to losing Congressional seats.
“And so, just like in the 2018 midterms when Republicans had control of everything, Democrats had a big year. In 2022, when Democrats are in control of everything, Republicans had a big year,” he said. “So, I think you’re going to see likely a Democrat year in the midterms.”
Short said that due to recent gerrymandering efforts that have decreased the number of contested districts, a Democratic sweep may be smaller than in past years, if still significant.
“The reality is that so many of our house districts are drawn today to gerrymander for each side that there’s fewer really districts that are really competitive,” he said.
“And potentially more that are going to be gerrymandered, right?” asked Burns.

Holy cow. You had to go back 23 years!
The FBI needs to seed voter rolls with fake names so when ‘the people who don’t show up to vote’ vote - we’ll have a record of the fraud.
Exactly! Historically this is the venue of the VICE PRESIDENT to GET OUT THE VOTE for the Mid-Terms! WhereTF is JD these days?
He should be touring every friggin’ STATE that has a LOSER RINO or even a decent republican (I refuse to capitalize them!) sitting in a Congressional Seat, making the case for MAGA!
Ugh!
Why does NO ONE listen to, ‘We The People?’ I mean, we’re not all that SMART but we KNOW what’s about to go down in the mid-terms! The party in power ALWAYS loses some seats - but we can at least WORK to mitigate the DAMAGE to America!
UniParty B@stards! *SPIT*
Amen!
Yes, the hand of providence has moved him all along the way.
Well said.
If I remember correctly, every swing district Dem that voted for Obamacare was defeated in 2010. I think the appeal to the base needs to go over the head of the legislative process to capitalizing on the 2024 themes. The Somalia scandal needs to be exploited, the demographic creeping Islamization of Texas, for instance, needs to be addressed in a fundamental way (the best way I see is proposing an anti-Sharia amendment to the Constitution); the current decline of gas prices , if it continues , Trump predicts will go a long way to address day-to-day affordability.
Sounds like The Uniparty is getting ready to CHEAT HARD.
The economy will be growing next year imho. Thats what the midterms will be about. Its what elections are almost always about. The left can misrepresent and lie right now… but as the positive data builds , they will have no recourse. Only the GOP can beat the GOP…. See Indiana. Trump will do his part… will his party? Not so sure. They might still win out anyways thanks to Trump.
I won’t believe it til I hear it from Omarosa and Scaramucci.
>almost maintained control of the Congress when the experts were predicting a 60 seat Republican victory.< That was supposedly a reaction to Supreme court reversing Roe vs Wade ( ie tat charged up the Dem base, over a social issue that was at that time not legislative issue at all ( Though Lindsay Graham gave the a great strawman by suddenly becoming a white-hot prolifer advocating a nationwide ban on abortion), The Republicans need to play up the social issues to fire up the base, that’s what worked so well for the Dems in 2022.
lose the midterms and all Trump’s efforts towards the cartels will falter.
the last 2 years will be constant impeachments and jailings of anyone they can get.
2028 will go to the dems as the apathy of the base will be solidified by then.
then 2028-2032 will see the same as biden... but worse.
He should be focused on Soros but I haven't seen anything.
No RICO charges against his organization.
Republicans don’t even do anything. Why should they win? The only reason why they have a chance is because the Democrats are just going to spend 2 years impeaching Trump and that is such a waste of a great opportunity for the country
That is why any blue state that won’t turn over their voter rolls shouldn’t be allowed to participate in elections and should receive ZERO fed money.
Getting rich and stealing from the taxpayers.
The GOP wants to go back to the Bush era party, they want Trump gone
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Ignorant RINO Rats will always be plaguing the GOP, but I believe enough voters have come to the realization that the Marxist left now in control of the Democrat Party must be crushed at every opportunity before they destroy our country.
People like this with no faith in Trump deserve full democrat commie rule complete with machete wielding Somalis at their doorstep.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They’re the same weak-kneed dolts who planned to vote for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 but still could not resist badmouthing him for his “mean tweets” etc. etc. Freaking morons!!
the Socialist Barbie skanks.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Moat people are too intimidated to address this issue, but I’ve been convinced for decades that it’s only a matter of time until the Karens of America bring about the defeat and destruction of our Constitutional Republic.
He worked for
Judas Pence. He probably still works for Pence.
People have got to get used to identifying the MSM’s ‘sources’ and not taking them at face value ever.
“Marc T. Short (born March 3, 1970) is an American political advisor who was chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence”
Nuff said.
