One Year Out: Republicans Have the Momentum. Democrats are Flailing.
A new memo from the NRCC lays out the clear picture one year from Election Day 2026: Derrick Van Orden and House Republicans hold clear momentum. Historic fundraising, a favorable national environment, and wins for working families put Republicans like Van Orden on offense while House Democrats are broke, divided, and losing the messaging war.
“Derrick Van Orden and House Republicans are charging into 2026 with unstoppable momentum. While Van Orden keeps delivering results for Wisconsinites, Democrats keep proving just how out of touch they are with the American people.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
