Trump Mounts Big Push to Keep Control of the House

“President Trump’s team has launched an early and aggressive behind-the-scenes effort to maintain the GOP’s tenuous grip on the House in 2026 — and avoid his third impeachment,” Axios reports.

“Trump allies believe — with good reason — that a Democrat-controlled House would launch investigations of the president and move to impeach him. That’s exactly what happened after Democrats seized the chamber during Trump’s first term.”

“Midterm elections are historically tough for the party occupying the White House, and senior Republicans privately acknowledge that retaining the speaker’s gavel won’t be easy.”
