Donald Trump has reasserted his dominance within the Republican Party as the GOP looks toward the 2026 midterms and navigates a contentious national environment. Joe Gruters, a longtime Trump ally, was just elected as the new chair of the Republican National Committee during the party’s summer meeting in Atlanta. According to Fox News, Gruters plans to center the RNC’s midterm strategy around Trump’s leadership and messaging, promising an aggressive push to expand the party’s majorities in the House and Senate. The RNC is emphasizing election integrity as its top priority, with Gruters stating, “We’re gonna ride the president all the way to victory in the midterms, and we are going to win big.” Gruters’ elevation, after an endorsement from Trump, underscores the former president’s firm grip over the GOP and signals continuity within party leadership after Michael Whatley stepped down to run for Senate.
Trump himself is making headlines for his hardline stance on domestic security. ABC News reports that Trump has threatened to deploy National Guard troops to several major cities, including Baltimore, Chicago, and New York, responding to what he describes as unacceptable levels of crime. This follows Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s invitation for Trump to attend a public safety walk in Baltimore; Trump countered on social media, saying if Moore needed help, he would send in troops. Democratic leaders, such as Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, have publicly pushed back, arguing there is no emergency that justifies federal intervention, while also referencing declining crime rates in their cities.
Meanwhile, the broader political landscape remains highly competitive. ABC News points out that Republicans have gained more than two million registered voters over the last two years, while Democrats saw comparable losses. Control of the House remains at stake, with only a small number of flipped seats needed for a change in power. Texas, for instance, is in the midst of heated redistricting battles, with state Senate Republicans candidly admitting their efforts are designed to cement their fragile congressional advantage.
In terms of upcoming events, the Republican National Convention scheduled for Milwaukee will focus on battleground states and is expected to blend traditional ceremonies with new digital engagement initiatives. The convention will serve as both a showcase for the GOP’s platform and a rallying point for party unity as the next election cycle approaches.
Finally, while Republicans enjoy a significant financial advantage—the RNC reportedly holds $84 million in the bank compared to the DNC’s $14 million—party leaders acknowledge the challenge of defending slim congressional majorities during a midterm cycle where political headwinds usually blow against the party in power.
