Trump Hints at ‘Big Surprises’ Right Before Midterms

October 6, 2026 · 6:14 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Does President Donald Trump have some tricks up his sleeve?” Mediaite asks.

“It sounds like it, after the president teased his administration has some history-making ‘big surprises’ to unveil in the weeks leading up to the 2026 midterms. Trump, during a Tuesday afternoon speech in Sparrows Point, Maryland, said the mystery revelations will be coming from Russell Vought, the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.”

Said Trump: “We have some big surprises coming up in another few weeks, right Russ? He’s gonna be one of the very important people in the history of our country, in my opinion. He’s got some great things happening.”
