Trump’s Moves for the US Senate Races |
The US Senate races in Election 2026 are essential for maintaining MAGA GOP dominance in Washington. After Election 2024, pundits from across the spectrum are convinced that Republicans can hold the US Senate into 2026 and even 2028.
However, elections are dynamic affairs, and all seemed lost after Election 2022, with all of Trump’s endorsed US Senate candidates going down in flames. Two years later, Trump recaptured his MAGA Mojo. The RNC got its act together, too, and they pulled off an incredible four US Senate seat sweep, cleaning out the remnants of the Democratic class of 2006. We still don’t talk enough about Pennsylvania US Senator Dave McCormick’s incredible upset of the Democratic machine and legacy-politics incumbent Bob Casey!
National Republicans are starting to run their campaign efforts like businessmen who want to close the deal. No more funneling money out of emotion; no more throwing around cheap talking points while wearing a MAGA hat, and calling that sufficient to win over independent voters and woo disaffected Democrats; no more crazy candidates with weird backstories; no more grifters; and no more drama.
So, how is Trump preparing to maintain the Republicans’ US Senate majority this year?
Let’s talk about Kentucky first. This decision was easy for Trump, but hard for the grassroots. Why would President Trump line up behind Congressman Andy Barr? The guy is the most liberal of the three major candidates running to replace traitor Mitch McConnell. MAGA grassroots had been coalescing around Nate Morris since Former AG Daniel Cameron blew his momentum by losing to Governor Andy Beshear in 2023. No matter what the machinations, the unavoidable calculation is that Barr is barreling towards a primary win. With such clear and convincing metrics, the RNC and the NRSC do not want to sink more money into a contentious primary........
