Susie Wiles Reveals Bombshell 2026 Midterm Strategy to Put Trump “On the Ballot”

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles says Republicans are planning an aggressive strategy for the 2026 midterms—by putting Donald Trump front and center. Breaking from traditional midterm playbooks that localize races and minimize the role of national figures, Wiles explained that the GOP intends to treat the midterms like a presidential cycle. The reason, she says, is Trump’s ability to activate low-propensity voters who typically only turn out when he is on the ballot. According to Wiles, Republicans saw what happened when Trump was not active during past cycles and believe his presence could be decisive in maintaining congressional majorities in 2026.
