Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York said Tuesday that the Republican Party faces an uphill battle going into the 2026 midterm elections. President Donald Trump is focusing on affordability ahead of the midterm elections, as the Republican Party seeks to retain its thin majority in the House of Representatives. York noted how Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believe the party can avoid a wipeout in November once the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s tax refunds and financial provisions start “kicking in.” “But what can you say? You can’t predict these things, and history, as you know, and I’m sure all our listeners know, history really argues against the president’s party during midterms,” York said on the Hugh Hewitt Show, guest-hosted by Kurt Schlichter. “The only time a president’s party has picked up seats during the midterms since the New Deal has been George W. Bush in 2002 and Bill Clinton in 1998, both of which were very special and very different reasons.” Schlichter noted while history is opposing Trump and the Republican Party, Trump also made history when he became the first nonconsecutive president “in about a century.” York agreed this is “absolutely true,” adding that White House chief of staff Susie Wiles believes a “nationalized election with Trump at the center of it” can win the midterm elections for Republicans. “A lot of factors are operating against the Republican Party right now, but I think everybody in the party would be pretty happy that the president seems to be kicking off the midterms tonight,” York said. TRUMP’S ECONOMIC TALKING POINTS FOR THE STATE OF THE UNION Trump unveiled a new retirement savings plan for workers during his State of the Union address, giving people access to “the same type of retirement plan” offered to federal workers. The president explained this plan will match contributions “up to $1,000 each year.” Vice President JD Vance is traveling to Wisconsin on Thursday to tout the president’s economic accomplishments.

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith said Thursday he was not ruling out voting for Secretary of State Marco Rubio in 2028, provided he does not mount his own presidential bid.  Smith made the surprising statement during an appearance on Dave Rubin’s talk show when talking about his political views, identity as a moderate Democrat, and former acquaintanceship with President Donald Trump.  “Well, let me say this about Donald Trump. To me, I don’t even get into his policies,” said Smith. “Like for example, 2028 election, I’m not ruling out the possibility that if I don’t run, that I wouldn’t vote for a guy like Marco Rubio. This man is a former senator, he’s the present secretary of state, he’s the national security adviser. He’s an adult in the room.” While offering praise for Rubio, Smith had a very different opinion about Vice President J.D. Vance.  “I look at J.D. Vance and I see somebody that aspires to be Trumpish, engaging in populism as opposed to actually getting the work done,” said Smith.  Smith, for his part, said he was unlikely to run for president in 2028, but the notion was tempting given the weak field of potential Democratic contenders.  STEPHEN A. SMITH SAYS TRUMP PLAYED DEMOCRATS ‘LIKE A FIDDLE’ AT STATE OF THE UNION“I’ve been very blessed and successful to have the career that I have and I ain’t about to give up this money and what I’ve achieved to run for the presidency of the United States,” said Smith. “That is where I come in, but it is tempting when I see those as the candidates because I don’t believe any of them have a chance of winning.”  The interview with Rubin came one day after Smith ripped Congressional Democrats for being “played like a fiddle” at the State of the Union when challenged by Trump to stand up if they believed the priority of the federal government was to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.  The Washington Examiner reached out to Rubio’s and Vance’s offices for comment.
