Democrats have now recruited Sherrod Brown to run for Senate in Ohio, and are now trying to recruit Mary Peltola to run in Alaska. I break down why this is utterly delusional on their part, as they will not be able to retake the Senate in 2026, barring something insane.
Republicans Poised for Senate Gains in 2026: Polls Signal Expanding Majority Amid Democrat Delusions
In a scathing YouTube breakdown by conservative analyst Red Eagle Politics (Above), Democrats are painted as utterly delusional for thinking they can reclaim the Senate in 2026. The video spotlights their desperate recruitment of figures like Sherrod Brown in Ohio and Mary Peltola in Alaska—states Trump carried handily—while ignoring the electoral math that heavily favors Republicans. With the GOP holding a commanding 53-47 majority post-2024, early polls and expert analyses from outlets like Fox News and Sabato’s Crystal Ball suggest Republicans aren’t just defending their turf; they’re on track to expand it to 55 seats or more. As Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) boldly declared, the party aims to flip key Democrat-held seats in battlegrounds like Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Virginia, capitalizing on Trump’s coattails and Democrat overreach.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s backed by data showing GOP strength in red states and vulnerabilities in blue ones, setting the stage for a midterm rout that could solidify conservative control for years. The 2026 map is a Republican dream, with 22 GOP seats up for grabs but mostly in deep-red territory where Trump won by double digits. Democrats, defending only 13 seats, face an uphill battle in states like Georgia and Michigan, where open races expose their weaknesses. Add two specials—in Ohio (to fill JD Vance’s VP vacancy) and Florida (Marco Rubio’s State Department move)—and the dynamics tilt further right. Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the UVA Center for Politics rates Republicans as “strong favorites” to hold the majority, starting with just four truly competitive races: Maine (Lean R), North Carolina (Lean R), Georgia (Toss-up), and Michigan (Toss-up).
Their initial ratings project a GOP hold at 52-48 or better, echoing historical midterms where the opposition party surges—except here, Democrats are the out-of-power losers reeling from 2024’s shellacking. Polls underscore this GOP edge. Race to the WH’s forecast, aggregating data through August 2025, gives Republicans a 78% chance of retaining control, predicting 52-53 seats. Cook Political Report mirrors this, with Solid/Likely R at 50 seats already, needing just one more for majority. A Newsweek poll from June showed Republicans surging in midterm prospects, with voter disapproval of Biden-Harris policies fueling a backlash against Democrats. Fox News highlights GOP recruitment successes, like Trump-backed RNC Chair Michael Whatley jumping into North Carolina’s open race, where early internals show him leading Democrat Roy Cooper by 5 points in a state Trump won by 3%.
Whatley, touting border security and tax cuts, embodies the MAGA momentum that polls say resonates with independents tired of Democrat chaos. Key flips could push Republicans to 55+. In Georgia, Democrat Jon Ossoff’s seat is ripe for the taking. Trump ally Rep. Mike Collins launched his bid, emphasizing Ossoff’s ties to failed liberal policies like defund the police and green deals. Fox polling shows Collins ahead by 4-6 points in head-to-heads, with Trump’s endorsement boosting turnout in rural areas. Former football coach Derek Dooley also entered, splitting the field but unifying behind anti-woke messaging. Georgia’s rightward shift—Trump +2% in 2024—makes this a prime pickup, per Sabato’s Toss-up rating. Michigan’s open seat, vacated by retiring Gary Peters, is another GOP target. Republican Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost in 2024, leads Democrat challengers like Rep. Haley Stevens by 7 points in recent Emerson polls, capitalizing on Trump’s 1.5% win there. Fox notes Rogers’ national security creds appeal to Rust Belt voters fed up with Democrat energy policies crippling auto jobs.
With divided Democrat primaries, Republicans see a clear path to flip. New Hampshire emerges as a surprise opportunity. Democrat Jeanne Shaheen’s retirement opens the door; GOP Gov. Chris Sununu, if he runs, polls at +10 against Rep. Chris Pappas.
Trump surged in NH registration data, narrowing Harris’s lead to 7%, making this a potential gain despite the blue lean. Virginia, held by Tim Kaine, is in play too. Polls show GOP challengers like Hung Cao trailing by just 3-5 points, with Trump’s influence eroding Kaine’s moderate facade amid inflation woes. Fox reports Scott’s NRSC targeting these flips to reach 55, funded by record-breaking hauls. On defense, Republicans hold firm. In Maine, Susan Collins—despite the state’s Harris +7—polls at 55% approval, her cross-aisle appeal thwarting challengers like Gov. Janet Mills. North Carolina’s open seat sees Whatley dominating, with Cooper’s recruitment reeking of desperation. Texas’ John Cornyn faces AG Ken Paxton in primary, but polls show Cornyn leading 52-38, his leadership role securing the seat against Democrat Colin Allred.
Alabama’s open race draws Trump’s earliest supporter, Rep. Barry Moore, polling at +20 in the crimson state. Ohio’s special for Vance’s seat favors Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, appointed by DeWine, leading Democrats by 12 points in a Trump +1 state. Florida’s special is Safe R, with Gov. Ron DeSantis likely appointing a strong successor. Democrats’ recruitment woes compound their troubles. Fox details feverish efforts to lure top candidates, but failures like in Alaska (Peltola vs. Dan Sullivan, Trump +14) highlight denial.
Polls show GOP incumbents like Cynthia Lummis (WY) and Bill Cassidy (LA) safe by 20+. X chatter reinforces this: Users cite Crystal Ball ratings projecting 52 R seats, with toss-ups leaning GOP. One post warns Democrats risk a “blue wave” reversal if Republicans falter, but most predict gains. Trump’s influence is key. Politico notes he’s the “new master,” endorsing winners like Whatley and Collins. With approval at 52% in recent Fox polls, his agenda—tax cuts, border walls—drives turnout. Democrats’ “Project 2026” mockery backfires, as GOP counters with memes exposing liberal hypocrisy.
In sum, polls paint a rosy picture for Republicans: holding 52-53, potentially 55 with flips. As Red Eagle Politics quips, Democrats’ denial will cost them dearly, ensuring conservative dominance through 2028. Then of course never forget that Trump has pledged to stop voter fraud. If Pam Bondi starts to actually do something in this regard, Democrats will lose many seats all across this nation. It truly will be the end of the Democrat Party for some time, if not forever as they splinter into their Marxist and racist parts.
