The 2026 United States midterm elections are scheduled for November 3, 2026, and will feature the election of all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats, specifically the Class II seats, to determine the 120th United States Congress. These elections will occur during the second term of Republican President Donald Trump, making them the first midterms since 1894 to take place during a non-consecutive second term of the presidency. The elections will also include 39 state and territorial gubernatorial races, along with numerous state and local contests, including attorney general, secretary of state, and state legislative elections across most states. The political environment is expected to be challenging for the Republican Party, as issues such as broken promises on economic policies, the impact of tariffs, and controversial immigration enforcement have contributed to declining popularity for Trump and the party. The midterms are seen as a referendum on Trump’s administration, with current polling suggesting potential losses for Republicans in both chambers, which could lead to legislative gridlock if Democrats gain control of the House.

Pennsylvania expected to be a key battleground for Congress in 2026 | Four Pa. House seats likely to be at the center of midterm elections
Scott Perry in the 10th is a waste of space who does literally nothing for District 10. He hasn't held an in person town hall in over 6 years. (His reason? His aides have told me he's so popular that no place is big enough. 🤣🤣 Guess he forgot to tell Bruce Springsteen that.) Perry loves photo ops but hates interacting with constituents. He is a veteran and claims to support vets, but is a NO vote on any legislation to help homeless vets or increase VA funding or vet benefits. He once told a reporter he doesn't care about constituents health benefits because his family is covered so what's the worry? Perry tried to submit fake slates of electors for Trump on January 6th, 2021. We need to vote this guy out now. (And he never goes to the Farm Show, which is right in his District! Even Fetterman goes to the Farm Show! ) More on reddit.com

CMV: In 2026 Democrats will win the house and in 2028 will win the presidency (but not the senate). Then nothing will fundamentally change and Republicans will sweep the house in 2030 and win the presidency in 2032.
First of all, it is very difficult to estimate how well or poorly 2026 will go. Anything beyond that is simply compounded upon with even more factors. Both Obama and Biden during their times as president made big progress with their agenda. Obamacare still being a thorn to the GOP to date. The majority of Trump's fuckery is via executive orders. The next president can come in with all of them preprinted and undo them in an hour without blinking an eye, Coming after Trump himself will be impossible, but not after his stooges. He has sold everyone down river to save his ass, making an example out of them will have to suffice. But the big point is MAGA. MAGA will implode without Trump. MAGA is a cult focused only on him. Their effect only exists if he is running, his endorsements haven't meant a thing. When he can't run anymore, that is it for both MAGA and the GOP. That voting block will go back to being inactive.
