National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson believes the GOP can defy historical trends and maintain control of the House of Representatives throughout President Trump's second term, citing recent gains among Hispanic and Black voters and a unique political climate.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chairman Richard Hudson expressed confidence that the GOP can defy historical trends and retain their House majority throughout President Trump's second term. Hudson highlighted the Republicans' significant gains among Hispanic and Black voters in the 2024 elections , attributing this success to their efforts in reaching out to these communities and emphasizing their shared values.
He believes this progress will continue into the 2026 midterm elections. \\\Hudson stated that Republicans' values resonate with both Hispanic and Black voters, noting that 42% of Hispanic voters supported Trump in the 2024 election. He emphasized that the GOP's campaign message focuses on issues that matter to these communities, such as crime, education, border security, and the cost of living. \\\He credited Trump's policies for delivering on these values and predicted that they would again be instrumental in securing Republican victories in 2026. While historically, the first midterm after a new presidential term leads to a shift in power, Hudson argued that the current political climate is unique. He pointed out that the 2024 presidential election served as a referendum on the two presidents' records, resulting in a clear mandate for Trump. Furthermore, he noted that Democrats will be defending 13 seats won by Trump in 2024, while Republicans only need to hold onto three seats that voted for Kamala Harris. This geographic advantage, according to Hudson, favors Republicans in the 2026 midterms.
