Overview
- Fox News host Laura Ingraham said the 2026 midterms "look ugly" for Republicans unless they "really get serious."
- Her assessment followed Democratic off-year gains, including flipping Virginia’s governorship, adding 13 seats in the House of Delegates, holding New Jersey’s governorship, and retaining the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
- California voters approved a measure letting the legislature redraw congressional districts, following a similar move in Texas that benefited Republicans.
- Ingraham cited Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones’ victory despite a text-message controversy as evidence Democrats are still winning competitive races.
- Guest Mark Meadows highlighted the Dec. 2 special election in Tennessee’s 7th District after Rep. Mark Green’s resignation, warning Democrats are investing heavily and that low turnout could create an opening.
