This is what the returning head of the Republican campaign committee in the House of Representatives says
“The battlefield is really laying out to our advantage. There are 14 Democrats who won seats also carried by Donald Trump. There are only three Republicans in seats that were carried by Kamala Harris. So that tells me we’re going to be on offense ,” National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Hudson emphasized in a recent Fox News Digital interview.

Hudson also made the case that House Republicans who will once again be targeted by the Democrats in the upcoming election cycle are “really battle tested. I mean, they’re folks who’ve been through the fire before. They’ve gone through several cycles now with millions of dollars being spent on them.”
“They’ve been able to be successful because they work very hard in their districts. They’ve built very strong brands, as you know, people who know how to get things done and how to make a difference in their community,” he emphasized. “The Republicans who are in difficult seats are our best candidates.”

But in 2026 there will be a big difference: Trump, who helped drive low-propensity voters to the polls this year, will not be on the ballot in the 2026 midterm elections.
But he argued, “If you look at the way this race is shaping up, we campaigned on a key set of issues of things that we promised we would deliver. If we deliver those things and have Donald Trump there with us campaigning with our candidates “I believe we can turn out a higher percentage of those voters than we have in the past in midterm elections.”
Hudson said Trump was “a great partner” for Republicans in the House of Representatives this year and will do so again in the upcoming election cycle.

“I mean, first thing, we’ve got to go out and recruit candidates. You know, candidate quality matters. And then we’ve got to go raise the money. And so I’ll be on the road and be out there helping our incumbents, but I look forward to it,” he stressed.
