The midterm elections are coming up. Both parties are anxious to see how they perform.
And the Speaker of the House made a prediction about the midterms that will leave you speechless.
House Speaker Mike Johnson took on the doubters head-on Thursday, assuring Daily Wire host Michael Knowles that Republicans stand ready to expand their majority in the 2026 midterm elections and deliver a clear victory for the America First agenda.
“I’m very bullish about the midterms,” Johnson stated.
“I’m absolutely convinced we are going to win the midterms and grow the majority. It will defy historic trend.”
The Louisiana Republican openly admitted this kind of result would shatter long-held Washington expectations.
“It’s only twice in the last 90 years that a sitting president has picked up seats in that first two-year cycle,” he stated.
Johnson laid out exactly why the political winds now blow hard for conservatives, highlighting massive fundraising edges and the total collapse of any Democratic plan.
“We have a fundraising advantage right now because the stakes are so high — Republicans over Democrats for the first time in 10 years,” Johnson continued.
“Democrats are at historic lows in approval ratings. They have no leadership, no message, no vision for where they’re going.”
“Their whole platform is they hate Donald Trump,” he said.
“Well, good luck with that. That’s not exactly something to sell to constituents.”
Election security sits at the heart of the issues where Republicans dominate, and Johnson spotlighted the House’s strong action already taken to lock down the vote.
The chamber has twice approved the SAVE America Act, which demands proof of citizenship and voter identification for every federal ballot, measures that everyday Americans have demanded for years to stop the cheating.
Johnson explained the real fight now rests in the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune faces tough choices on how to advance the bill past every possible delay tactic.
“We passed the SAVE Act twice, the previous Congress and this Congress,” the speaker said.
“Now we pass the Save America Act because now it’s voter ID and proof of citizenship together.”
