Imagine being wrong on all your prognostication. That's what Democrat political pundits face.
As the dust settles from the 2024 election cycle, the political landscape is already shifting toward the 2026 midterms. While Democrats publicly project confidence, a growing chorus of private admissions and pundit predictions paints a stark picture: Republicans are poised for a commanding victory, potentially expanding their majorities in both the House and Senate. This isn't just optimism—it's rooted in the Democratic Party's self-inflicted wounds, from cultural overreach to economic missteps, compounded by President Trump's anticipated successes in taming inflation and delivering a banner economic year. Democrats are damaged goods, and as one insider put it, that's putting it mildly. With Trump fixing "Bidenflation"—the issue that sank Joe Biden—they're not just facing headwinds; they're staring down a political hurricane.
