Conservative Analyst Predicts Historic GOP Midterm Collapse
Washington Post columnist Henry Olsen predicts a catastrophic loss for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms, forecasting a Democratic takeover of both the House and Senate. Citing Trump's low approval rating and historical voting patterns, Olsen estimates Democrats will gain 20 House seats and achieve a 9.25-point margin in the national popular vote, marking a potential 'doom' for the GOP comparable to 1976 and 2008.
