Trump’s victory sets up fight for the House on his turf in 2026

With the 2024 election looming, Trump’s victory sets up an intriguing battle for the House of Representatives on his home turf in 2026. The once-reliable Republican stronghold has shifted towards Democrats in recent years, and a fierce contest is expected as both parties vie for control of the chamber.

Trump’s decision to run again in 2024 has reignited Republican enthusiasm in the district, but it also galvanizes Democrats who see an opportunity to flip the seat. The outcome of the 2026 House race will likely hinge on the extent to which Trump’s endorsement and campaign galvanize Republicans and motivate Democrats.
