President Donald Trump told Republicans at the GOP House retreat Tuesday at the Trump-Kennedy Center that the party is positioned to defy the usual midterm backlash against the sitting president's party and deliver what he called an "epic" victory in 2026.
NEWSMAX -- "So together, we had 12 months of unprecedented success in 2025. And now we're going to make history and break records with the epic midterm victory that we're going to pull off," Trump said in the address, shown on Newsmax.
He said the past year has seen an “amazing” presidency.
Trump said it is "an amazing phenomenon" that presidents often see their parties lose seats in midterm elections — even when the administration is doing well — and said he expects Republicans to beat that trend.
