Trump Expects GOP Midterm Landslide
United States President Donald Trump expressed confidence in a major Republican victory during the upcoming midterm elections, telling attendees at the National Republican Congressional Committee (RNCC) that the party is poised for a “tremendous thundering landslide.”
Speaking to GOP donors and lawmakers, Trump said he is eagerly anticipating the midterms and stressed the importance of unity within the Republican Party. He urged lawmakers to support the GOP’s proposed funding legislation, arguing it would place pressure on undecided Republicans and prevent the passage of a Democrat-backed version. “You just gotta get there, close your eyes and get there,” he said, emphasizing the need for decisive action.
Trump criticized members of his party who are hesitating on the legislation, stating, “Just stop grandstanding.” He warned that delay would weaken the party’s negotiating power and risk enabling Democratic initiatives. The president’s remarks framed the funding bill as a crucial test of Republican unity ahead of the elections.
He also addressed the current trade landscape, noting that the ongoing “tariff situation” is benefiting the country. Trump maintained that tariffs are strengthening the U.S. economy and enhancing the nation’s leverage in international negotiations.
Throughout his remarks, Trump painted a picture of a party on the verge of a historic win, provided it stays united and acts decisively. His call to action underscores the high stakes of the upcoming midterms and the internal pressure to align around shared economic and legislative priorities.
