Donald Trump Eyes Kingmaker Role In 2026 Midterms, Will Vet Candidates, Plan Fundraisers
Last Updated: Trump is banking heavily on the success of his newly passed tax and spending legislation. US President Donald Trump has already begun laying the groundwork for a major push in the 2026 midterm elections. According to US broadcaster ABC News, a senior White House official confirmed Trump's direct involvement in the Republican Party's strategy, including fundraising, recruitment, and campaign planning. The President's goal is clear: to maintain the GOP majority in both chambers of Congress during the final two years of his presidency. Behind the scenes, Trump is expected to wield significant influence over GOP candidate selection. The report said he will back loyalists and block Republicans who have previously opposed or criticised him. The White House is also working to persuade key Republican lawmakers to stay in their current roles and avoid retirement or bids for other offices. According to the White House source, Trump and key members of his Cabinet plan to tour major swing states to build support for the legislation and the broader Republican agenda. Vice President JD Vance has already kicked off early campaigning, recently appearing in Pennsylvania to promote the bill. Trump is banking heavily on the success of his newly passed tax and spending legislation, dubbed the 'Big Beautiful Bill', to power the GOP to victory. The bill was signed into law during this year's Fourth of July celebrations at the White House, where Trump declared it as 'the biggest tax cut in the history of our country." The bill slashes funding for government programs such as Medicaid while boosting support for immigration enforcement. It also expands the child tax credit, which Trump hopes will appeal to working-class voters. The bill's political effectiveness is already being tested on the campaign trail. Gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey are promoting the law with tailored messaging, allowing the GOP to assess which strategy resonates best with voters ahead of 2026. Additionally, Republican strategists are in the process of creating new fundraising vehicles to support GOP candidates nationwide. The President's inner circle is currently seeking a strong candidate for the New Hampshire Senate seat, following former Governor Chris Sununu's decision not to run. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
