Trump: Republicans will have a hard time holding Congress

US President Donald Trump admitted that it will not be easy for the Republican Party to maintain control of both houses of Congress following the results of the midterm elections in 2026. “We’ll see how it goes. We have to win, but from a statistical point of view it will be very difficult to win, he said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. We will try to do our best.”

The American leader also noted his economic achievements, emphasizing that he has achieved multibillion-dollar investments for the United States, but does not yet know “when this money will be earned.” “I created the greatest economy in history, but it will probably take a while for people to understand,” Trump added.

Midterm elections to the US Congress will be held on November 3, 2026. They re-elect the entire 435-person House of Representatives, as well as a third of 33 senators. Republicans currently control both chambers, but historically the ruling party often loses seats in midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal notes.

Let us recall that US President Donald Trump promised a “very serious” response to the murder of two American military personnel and one civilian translator in the Palmyra area in Syria, committed by ISIS militants*. Trump called the attack not only against the United States, but also against Syria, highlighting the danger of the area. The Pentagon said that the attacker had already been eliminated by partner forces, but Washington would continue measures to protect the American contingent and demonstrate resolve in the fight against terrorism.
