JD Vance urges high turnout in 2026 midterms to keep ‘crazies’ out of office with Trump agenda on the line
NY Post ^ | 9/15/26 | Josh Christenson

Vice President JD Vance told The Post Monday that the Trump administration’s agenda is on the line in the 2026 midterms and Republicans will need their voters to turn out like a presidential year— in order to keep the “crazies” at bay.

In an exclusive sitdown aboard Air Force Two, Vance lamented how voters in President Trump’s coalition “haven’t yet shown up for Republicans” in off-year elections to the degree needed — a trend he is trying to reverse to maintain control of Congress.

“I really think it’s important to kind of get people to think that … in many ways the president is on the ballot. Yes, I’m on the ballot too, but the entire agenda is on the ballot,” the vice president told The Post. “Hopefully that will generate some enthusiasm.”

“The enthusiasm normally just isn’t there among a lot of our voters for midterm elections; we’re hoping we can get it there this time around,” Vance also said.

Republicans are facing the usual headwinds of a party in power, with the generic congressional ballot favoring Democrats by more than eight percentage points this election cycle, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average.

That’s roughly the same advantage the Democratic Party had in the 2018 midterm elections during Trump’s first term, with a more than seven-percentage-point lead heading into Election Day.

When it flipped the House in 2022, the GOP was ahead of Democrats by an average of two-and-a-half-percentage points.

“The Republican coalition has two different turnout realities,” explained Cygnal data and insights pollster and CEO Brent Buchanan.

And Lord knows there are a lot of crazies running. In New York, in North Carolina, in Michigan, in Texas, in California…. We are besieged!

I admire the enthusiasm, but the idea that “the Trump agenda is on the line” is pure fiction. The GOP Congress has done absolutely nothing to legislate the Trump agenda into law.

There's more on the line that the "Trump agenda".

These people clearly intend to kill us.

The only people who are depressed about this election are low-energy tools who are happy to be ruled by Socialist freaks.

I'm pumped, and ready to get out there. Will be mobilizing family and friends as well.

Let's do this!

Right. So let's be negative, depress turnout and elect Democrats. Genius idea.

Consider that The Child’s cause is to rape America and burn her to the ground... then what heshe is doing makes sense.
