Overview
- Trump’s team unveiled a five-point plan to preserve the GOP’s narrow eight-seat House majority, targeting retirements, primary challenges, fundraising, campaign spending and candidate recruitment.
- Key tactics include urging incumbents such as Reps. Mike Lawler and Bill Huizenga to remain in the House and using early endorsements to deter internal GOP primaries.
- A $500 million-plus political infrastructure, led by Securing American Greatness and the Never Surrender PAC, is being funneled into swing-district races to bolster vulnerable Republicans.
- Internal polling and candidate outreach are designed to coalesce party resources around Trump-backed contenders and prevent costly vacancies that could tip competitive seats.
- Democrats, buoyed by Trump’s sub-45 percent approval ratings, have signaled plans to probe his tariff policies, insider-trading allegations and acceptance of a $400 million jet if they reclaim the chamber.
