Five Ways You Can Help Trump Can Win House and Senate Majorities in November

It starts with the grassroots because all politics is local.

Ned Barnett | March 13, 2026

Before 2024, Donald Trump saw how most sitting presidents don’t do well in the midterm elections.

I hope he’s got serious plans for winning bigly in November, to keep and even grow his current MAGA majorities in the House and Senate. 

Just in case he’s not focused on that, not yet – yes, I find it hard to believe, but with a war on, a Cabinet secretary to fire and a host of other distractions – I offer him, and all of his grassroots MAGA leaders and followers a few friendly suggestions.

But remember this.  Politics is local. Elections are won at the precinct level, not at the national level.  However, the national level, starting with the president, provides red-meat encouragement and motivation for the grass-roots activists.

Also remember that campaign funds are the “mother’s milk” of politics.  Not decisively so – recall that Kamala Harris burned through at least $1.5 billion (in campaign disasters, this amount is always minimized).  In 107 days, she proved unable to move the needle on her election efforts.  She did worse on Election Day than the polls suggested on the day she was nominated.

Money is important, but so are door-to-door volunteers, and campaign rallies – hard-won strategies that got conservative, MAGA voters out on Election Day.

In no particular order:

ONE: Call together leaders of conservative congressional caucuses for high-level closed-door strategy meetings that get everyone on board with the idea that it’s everybody’s responsibility to win bigger margins in in 2026.  For House members with secure seats, and for the two-thirds of the senators who are not up for re-election this year, success means helping the president and their colleagues stage rallies to generate excitement that will lead to increased voter turnout. Electoral victories like this will hold the Senate and House in Trump’s last two years, and set the stage for the presidential campaign in ’28, when J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio and other strong Trump-supporting party leaders, will be vying – civilly, we hope – to succeed Trump for the next eight........
