Gabriel says apathetic Republicans are already behind

A national defense analyst believes Democrats have a head start in the 2026 midterms.

As the GOP clings to the Senate and a narrow margin in the House of Representatives, Democrats know the stakes next year have never been higher. If they take control of the House, then President Donald Trump's second term will be bogged down by another impeachment and endless hearings, and the funding for his MAGA agenda will be in jeopardy.

Meanwhile, ACT for America's Brigitte Gabriel says Republicans are not getting ready.

"The problem with the Republican conservative side is apathy," she summarizes. "The message that I got from across the country, from sea to shining sea, was, 'Oh, we're not worried about it; President Trump is going to fix it. This is not an election year. We're going to take a break this year. We worked hard last year.'"

She recognizes that the Democrats do not operate that way.

"If they lose, they double down," she observes. "If they win the election, the next day is a rah-rah-rah day to get the troops organized."

That is why she says the Democrats have a head start for 2026.

"The Republicans start working six months before an election, while the Democrats will have six months' head start of vicious fighting, command, and network nationwide, with their people ready to go to support to make sure they win in the midterm," Gabrielle compares. "This is why we need to wake up. We need to organize."

She encourages concerned patriots to join the nation's "most effective grassroots movement" that is dedicated to preserving America's culture, security, and freedom.

The Senate map is structurally favorable to Republicans in the midterms, as the Democrats are unlikely to flip four seats. Senate elections are staggered, with only about one-third of seats contested at a time, but all 435 House seats are up for election every two years, and historically, the president's party almost always loses House seats in midterm elections.
