Republican operatives have reportedly started to worry behind the scenes about the midterms, hoping that people will forget President Donald Trump's first year in office before they head to the polls.
A new Zeteo report described how even pro-Trump pollsters are concerned about November and how the GOP candidates will fare.
"When the cameras are on, senior members of the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s administration are well-trained to say that conservatives predicting a 'bloodbath' in the 2026 midterms are hysterical bed-wetters and doomsayers, underestimating the raw power of Trump’s draw among the American electorate," according to Zeteo. "Behind closed doors, those same senior members of the party are often the ones doing the heavy bed-wetting."
Trump has seen mounting disapproval in polls over the last several weeks due to his harsh immigration policies, ICE enforcement actions and the economy. Now, even insiders have expressed some doubt over how Republicans will maintain power.
"It would be one thing if the only people making this determination were employed at the major nonpartisan polling firms and legacy-media organizations that the Trump White House would have you believe are all 'Fake' losers," Zeteo reported. "But some of the most pro-Trump pollsters in the business are coming to similar conclusions, warning of a likely 'disaster' or 'blue wave' in November, administration officials and others in the MAGA elite tell Zeteo."
