Republicans distance from Trump ahead of midterms
- On Wednesday, Rep. Thomas Massie warned that President Donald Trump could doom Republicans in the 2026 midterms, arguing the president is "doing everything he can to lose" the election.
- Massie drew parallels between the current climate and 2006, when Republicans lost their majorities; with Trump's approval rating at just 32%, he predicts many incumbents will lose their races.
- During New Hampshire's post-primary "Unity Breakfast" on Monday, GOP candidates avoided mentioning Trump, with top contenders like Gov. Kelly Ayotte and John Sununu distancing themselves from the president.
- Massie blindsided leadership on Tuesday by introducing articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth; Speaker Mike Johnson subsequently sent the House into early recess, delaying a vote.
- Critics including Massie have targeted the administration's handling of the Iran war and files relating to Jeffrey Epstein, with Massie telling reporters Congress is failing to rein in the "unpopular war.
