"Right now, Democrats have no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House. After the adjustments to the Electoral College map that look likely to come with the next census, the Democratic presidential nominee could win all the states won by Kamala Harris plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still fall short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. An already unforgiving map becomes more so. This is equally true of the Senate."
"Frankly, it's going to be a wipeout. Your viewers need to know that the Democrats are going to pick up at a minimum 25 seats, maybe as high as 45. In all likelihood, the Democrats will carry the Senate. So, and I think we're shaping up very well for the 2028 election, but I don't know, 2030 is, I'm 81, that might be on the other side of my horizon, to be frank with you, he said."
Predictions indicate Democrats could gain between 25 and 45 congressional seats and are likely to win control of the Senate. Adjustments to the Electoral College map after the next census could leave a Democratic presidential nominee short of 270 electoral votes even while winning all states carried by Kamala Harris plus Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The Electoral College shift and Senate map create structural challenges for sustained Democratic control. Messaging missteps, such as calls to abolish ICE, are cited as vulnerabilities. Concerns are expressed about Democratic performance in the 2026 midterms. A presidential remark about foregoing an election was defended by White House spokespeople as a joke.
