"You cannot run in a midterm election by saying, vote for us because we've done a great job,' particularly when people don't feel the consequences of the policies that you've enacted. he continued.

"If the Republicans want to maximize their victories in 2026, they need to have-, they need to go back in the wayback machine to 1992 and remember the immortal words of that great strategist, James Carville. It's the economy stupid,' he said, to to-, and you've got to have an agenda that is forward-looking.

Republicans cannot win midterm elections by asking voters to reward them for past accomplishments when voters do not perceive benefits from enacted policies. Approval on the economy sits in the 30s and overall approval in the low 40s, reflecting weak public sentiment. Congressional Republicans fear midterm losses and lack a forward-looking agenda for 2026.

To improve prospects, Republicans need a pro-growth, forward-looking economic agenda and attention to health care that voters will see as improving family and community financial prospects.
