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.

It wouldn’t be so HARD if the REPUBLICANS GOT OFF THEIR ASSES AND FIXED SOME THINGS!!!! GET MOVING!!!
The fact that they don’t speaks volumes.
No one can say for sure what is going to happen a year from now, who knows if the same issues we are discussing now will even be what is discussed next year NO ONE KNOWS PERIOD..could the commies get back control of the house, absolutely, but honestly NO ONE knows for sure..but I will tell you this, if Republicans dont show up to actually VOTE absolutely the commies will win hands down
The GOP wants to go back to the Bush era party, they want Trump gone
Indiana already capitulated.
Who?
The man who pulled off the greatest comeback since The Ressurection will not be defeated and pushed aside so eadily.
The Comeback is COMINGGGG!!!
“The reality is that Americans like divided government.”
It seems to me, we have divided government. Trump vs. the establishment. Republicans aren’t doing Trump any favors.
Who dat?
GOP wants to be in the minority. Then they can’t get blamed and they get to win an easy reelection.
He’s a Pence boy for one thing and you can that traitor was behind the Indiana sellout.
>> The man who pulled off the greatest comeback since The [Resurrection] will not be defeated and pushed aside so readily.
That might be a leeetle overhyped... :-) but your point is valid — anyone that doesn’t see the hand of Providence at work in Donald J. Trump and the United States of America isn’t paying attention.
I am speaking into President Trump’s (and therefore our!) future continued exposure and elimination of the demonic strongholds in America, and the greatest Christian revival and restoration evah.
Wrong! That is a Marxist talking point that surfaces every time Dems are out of power. What Americans want is a reason to KEEP voting for the people they elected. Do something to fight the boogeyman like you mean to keep winning. Just getting power and then saying we must keep them in for doing squat or the boogeyman will return doesn't cut it. Give us reason to stand, cheer and say More, pile it on. When the GOP acts like Dem lite, their base becomes disillusioned. This crap isn't that hard. Fight, Fight, Fight. And don't stop until they cry uncle.
And all the whiners with negative attitudes are ready to cave in on MAGA just because some clown said told Politico that the rats have the midterms.
People like this with no faith in Trump deserve full democrat commie rule complete with machete wielding Somalis at their door step.
All the communist RATS need to do is get their Africans to say that they will kill all Republican opponents and their toddlers. I also expect Alfalfa Harris’s White Dude corklickers to get their testosterone fired up over King Hakeen Potatohead’s squawd of dizzy blonde broads like the ones they bought offices for in New Joysey, Virginya and MyAmi. It looks like this is going to be the year of the Socialist Barbie skanks.
This guy is a RINO however with an incredibly tiny majority losing the House seems very likely.
I think 20% of Republicans believe they need to do nothing.
I hear them all the time “Wait you REALLY think we’ll lose the House? No... People are fed up with democrats”.
They watch FOX News and just believe Hannity etc.
Time for a new party then, and let the Mike Pence John Thoon party go the way of the whips.
A new party with a strong legal immigration platform would draw from both of the legacy parties.
Screw the Republicans, and especially screw John Thoon and James Lankford.
Why do you think she was on DNCNN?
