Trump Expected to Secure House and Senate Majorities in Upcoming Midterms, Adviser Claims
By Sandy Fitzgerald | Saturday, February 21, 2026
Dick Morris, a presidential adviser, predicted on Saturday that President Donald Trump would secure majorities in both chambers of Congress during upcoming midterm elections, dismissing Democratic concerns about electoral outcomes.
“In today’s political climate, it’s time to correct the Democratic doom and gloom about the upcoming elections,” Morris stated. “I think Trump is going to win the House and win the Senate.”
Morris attributed Trump’s strong positioning for electoral success to economic improvements, noting the administration has created jobs while bringing inflation under control and reducing affordability costs that previously affected New Yorkers.
“Calling this turnaround ‘so profound and so deep,’ Morris added, ‘We have almost 0% inflation and about 4% growth, and nobody possibly could have done that before. It’s just an incredible tribute.'”
On immigration, Morris asserted Trump “sealed the border” and “stopped illegal immigrants from coming in,” stating the president is poised for a significant victory on Election Day.
When asked about recent Democratic gains in several races, Morris predicted Trump would remain competitive even in traditionally blue states: “He’ll carry New York like one and, but he’ll carry swing states throughout the country.”
Morris also highlighted a potential Supreme Court ruling that could reshape congressional districts. He stated, “The Supreme Court is likely to throw out majority-minority districts,” which he described as unconstitutional practices allowing only Democrats and Black Democrats to win in certain areas.
“Those seats that are Democrat only because they gerrymander the laws and the lines to make sure only Democrats and only liberal and Black Democrats can win,” Morris continued. “The Supreme Court is about to throw that out and say that’s unconstitutional, race-based districting.”
Morris added that such a decision would have sweeping effects in Congress: “It’s going to obliterate plenty of Black congressmen and Hispanic congressmen who were elected from districts they shouldn’t be elected from.”
