Senate GOP Sees Trump as Potential Liability in Midterms

“Senate Republicans say they see President Trump as a growing political liability as they try to hang on to control of the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections, citing the president’s repeated attacks on their ability to govern and his refusal to abandon a proposed $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund for MAGA allies,” NewsNation reports.

“GOP senators also warn that Trump’s relentless demands that the Senate pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act before the election, even though it has little to no chance of becoming law, risk ‘demoralizing’ the Republican base.”
