GOP could LOSE CONTROL of CONGRESS…BEFORE MIDTERMS?!!

GOP could LOSE CONTROL of CONGRESS…BEFORE MIDTERMS?!!

Republicans could lose their majority in the House of Representatives before the midterm elections. Magamike would lose his speakership and the Democrats could come into power. Let me repeat that one more time. It is possible that Republicans could lose their majority in the House of Representatives before the midterm elections. Let me explain. So, we all know that on Friday, Marjgerie Taylor Green resigned her seat from the House of Representatives effective early January of 2026. We also know that there will be a special election in Tennessee’s seventh congressional district in just a few weeks between the Democratic candidate state representative in Tennessee uh Afton Bane and she’s running against the MAGA Republican candidate Matt Vaneps. Tennessee’s congressional district number seven was a plus 22 district in 2024. The MAGA Republican Congress member Mark Green resigned his seat essentially effective right away and so it was expected that this would be a very safe seat for the MAGA Republicans. However, based on the trends that we saw in early November, it is possible that Democrats could overcome that 22 uh point advantage that MAGA had in 2024 over this seat. Democrats are pouring a lot of money into Tennessee’s seventh congressional district to support Afton Bane in that election that is coming up. A few other things would need to happen as well. There would need to be some other resignations of MAGA Republican Congress members. Who could that potentially be? Well, MAGA Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spars of Indiana, she posted, “Unfortunately, there’s a lot of truth to what Marjorie Taylor Green had to say when she resigned. I can’t blame her for leaving this institution that has betrayed the American people. Will Victoria Spart resign? And is it possible that one other MAGAR Republican Congress member will resign early? the so-called centrist MAGA Republicans who I don’t think are centrist at all like Congress member Bacon, they are planning to resign at the end of their term. However, could they be convinced to resign earlier? If there’s just a few more resignations, we will see the Democrats take control potentially before the midterms if Marjorie Taylor Green’s resignation is a sign of more resignations to come, especially as these Republican Congress members don’t want to be part of the group that covers up child sex trafficking rings. not a great thing to put on your resume if you want to have a career ahead of you doing other things other than being a Donald Trump sickophant. So just take a look at how Lisa DJardens describes the situation. She goes, “Folks, Marjorie Taylor Green just cranked up the stakes in Tennessee’s 7th special election that’s scheduled for December 2nd.” So right now the dynamic in the House is 219 Republicans to 213 Democrats. Marjgerie Taylor Green says she’s leaving early January of 2026. So that brings it to 218 to 213. Let’s say the Democrats win Tennessee and pull an upset. Then you’ll have 218 to 214. There will then be a Texas 18 special election that will be coming up January 31st. That will be 218 to 215. Then on April 16th, if Democrats hold the New Jersey 11 special election, which they are expected to do, you have 218 to 216. Therefore, we just need one or two more resignations because as of April 16th, there could be a zero vote margin. So, if anybody else leaves now, whether it’s Victoria Spars and one other person or whoever, that means the Democrats have a chance of taking over the House before the midterms even takes place. And regardless, it makes things even closer though before the midterm elections. um in terms of the balance of power as of right now. So, as I mentioned, Democrats are pouring money into the congressional district. The House Majority Pack group aligned with Democratic leader Hakee Jeff. They are placing lots of ad spend in Tennessee. 7th House Majority Pack 515,000, Afton Baines buying 214,000 compared to MAGA Inc. reserving 40,000. In terms of aired special general election spending, we’re talking about still a slight advantage of Republican to Democrat there, but future linear reservations, we’re seeing Democrats lead there. So, Democrats are pouring millions and millions of dollars into Tennessee 7th. Why? Because Democrats see a potential path right now to taking the majority um before the midterms. Let me remind you of what Magga Mike Johnson said recently after the Republicans were wiped out in the blue tsunami elections that were earlier this month. Magga Mike said the following about losing the majority. Here, play this clip. The president is on the ballot in 2026. the President Trump is on the ballot next fall because if we lose the majority, if the Republicans, the common sense people here who are doing the job for the American people, if we lose the majority in the House and this radical element of the Democratic party were were able to take over, we’ve already seen that movie. They will try to end the Trump administration. He won’t have four years. He’ll have only two because they will move to impeach him probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027. and they will try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we’ve done for the American people to lower cost to have a better quality of living on health care to increase access and quality of care. We are the party that is doing that and the president needs four years to complete his agenda, not just two. So, he is in a very real sense on the ballot. He’s fiercely committed to us winning. He is going to help. He’s he’s offered to do rallies and the telet town halls and all the things. Um he’s he’s uh sent out a a huge round of endorsements of incumbents, Republican incumbents over just over the last few days. He is very much engaged, very dialed in, and he understands the stakes. President Trump is on the ballot in 2026, and we’re looking forward to that contest. And then once again, when Maggamike was recently on uh state regime media known as Fox, here is what he said. Play this clip. But you were up against a fierce opponent, fierce opposition, and same with their courts. I I fear greatly, we can’t win every election. I fear greatly whether it’s 5 years, 10 years, 12 years from now, if they take one chamber or they take the presidency that they will try to unravel everything that we’re doing here. And it’s kind of hard to stop them, right? Well, absolutely. I mean, everything is on the line in the midterm election in 2026. Is why I keep highlighting the importance of that because remember, there’s only twice in 90 years that a sitting president has picked up seats for his party in the House, for example, in that first two-year cycle after he’s elected. Uh, but we must do it. We must defy history and do that this time because if the Democrats, the radical woke progressive Marxist Democrats were able to take the majority in the House of Representatives, they would impeach President Trump on the first day of that Congress. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. Early January of 2027 and it would descend again into chaos. They abuse their power as they did in the last time. We will resort again to lawfare and all the abuses. Um it will be a disaster for the country. And so this is about much more than than politics. It’s it’s about the founding principles of the country.

First, let me show you the crowd that greeted her. She was greeted like a rock star when she arrived in Tennessee to support Afton Bane. Play this clip right here. And here she is. Here’s former Vice President Kla Harris in the speech that she gave in Tennessee’s seventh congressional district. Play this clip. Don’t let anyone ever take your power or your votes voice from you. You tell people what you want. You don’t let anybody tell you who you are. You tell them who you are. And that includes at election time. This election is 14 days from today. Today is Tuesday. Yeah. It’s two weeks from now. And you know, I’ve been in elected office long enough to know that when people start deciding who am I going to listen to, and I’m going to speak truth right here. This is real talk. They’re going to look at two groups of people. Who’s writing the checks and who’s voting? So, let’s make sure that they understand we vote. That’s right. and they need to come here and they need to listen and they need to interact and they need to understand and one of the ways that you demand that is you show because you know what I vote and if you don’t respond to my needs I’m not voting for you where the leadership from the ground from the neighborhood from the community matters more than ever there are some powerful forces that are trying to suggest that folks are alone and without power, powerful forces that are trying to divide us and to tell folks that they don’t matter and their needs don’t matter. Well, we need to let them hear our voice and let them know that they’re going to have to be responsive. This is a moment where we reclaim this our country. It is our country. It’s not somebody else’s. It is our country. And one of the best ways we show that we are clear about that is we vote. And that’s why I’m here this afternoon to talk with all the leaders who are here. And there are people you will never meet, who may never know your name, but because of your activism, because of what you will do over the next two weeks as a marker for what you will continue to do is going to have an impact on so many people around our country. So, I thank you in advance for being active. This is about you. This is about your future. This is about your country. This is about your power. And who is the power with? All right. Now, last week I had State Representative Aftton Bane on the Midas Touch Network. Um here’s what she told me about Tennessee. Here, play this clip. Well, first I just I want to say thank you for recognizing that Tennessee is a beautiful place and um there are people that are trying to do good work here. Um, we have some of the best organizers in the country because we have to operate under incredibly oppressive circumstances. Um, and I think my biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the south say, “You get what you voted for because this is not what I voted for. I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the most dangerous place for workers in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.” Um, but that is what 15 years of Republican supermajority rule the state has done. Um Tennessee has been bought and sold to the highest bidder and those are multinational corporations in the billionaire boys club. Um there are no checks and balances and um what we are seeing right now is a rupture in their paradigm because they have ruled as you said with an iron fist um and have squaltched dissent uh and dissonance and I think they’re seeing the um now we’re seeing the kind of rumblings the simmering of perhaps a different paradigm. One is what one of which is um you know economic populism and ensuring that the real villains are painted as the billionaire boys club and these greedy corporations that are make that are pitting us against each other um as we fight and not delivering for for the Tennessee people. Now I also had the chair of the DC Congresswoman Dell Benny. That’s the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Congresswoman Dell Benny. Here is what she told me about uh the future races and kind of the status of the map right now. Play this clip. There seems to be momentum. Trump’s approval seems to be plummeting. When you and I last spoke, it was before the elections earlier in November, which seemed to be a resounding repudiation of Trump and MAGA, but they seem to be doubling down. Congresswoman, what do you make of it all? Well, it was a resounding repudiation and also a testament to what happens when you have great candidates who are talking about the issues that matter and are want to serve to help their communities. People want folks who are going to fight for them and we great folks all across the country who were focused on the issues that matter to the American people. Um, folks are rejecting Republicans and the Trump agenda. It has been damaging. It has raised costs for families across the country. Food, housing, health care, child care, energy costs, all going up. And Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one. It’s a big broken promise. And they don’t even care. They’re not even talking about it. Here we are. U finally the House is open again. Um and we’re not doing any legislation to help lower costs for families. It’s not a priority for them. Um, but we’re going to continue to hold them accountable uh because the American people want folks who are going to work for them. So indeed, Marjorie Taylor Green’s resignation carries with it far more wide reaching implications than just her resigning. And I think she knew that this would also screw over Magga Mike Johnson and the Republicans in the House. Now, you may be asking, well, when does that seat get replaced? Well, we’ll see. Potentially middle later next year as well. There’ll have to be a special election then and that process can take some time. So the question is could Democrats now make the inroads that they need to make? They should win the special election in Texas. They should win the special election in New Jersey. The Tennessee 7th is going to be difficult. Let’s have one or two more resignations of Republicans. Abrupt resignations. Allah Marjgery Taylor Green. You know, you you see these MAGAS don’t want to be affiliated with covering up this child sex trafficking ring now. And there you possibly have it. Regardless of whether Democrats can take the majority uh in, you know, before the midterms, I think Democrats are focused on certainly flipping the House in the midterms. Um and then we get a lot of oversight. I just want you to visualize what uh 2027 and 2028 can look like. And you see how terrified MAGA Mike is. visualize it. Um because what we can have here is tons of hearings on all of the Trump crimes and corruption. Um their coverups and more. Everybody hit subscribe. Let’s get to 6 million subscribers. And thank you so much for watching. Hey Midas mighty. It’s Ben Breton Jordy and we just want to thank you for being the backbone of this movement.
