Overview
- White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said on The Mom View that the president will campaign for the 2026 midterms "like it's 2024 again."
- A White House official confirmed plans for a year-long national tour promoting his economic agenda, starting Tuesday in Pennsylvania.
- Wiles said he will work to keep Republican majorities in the House and Senate and began raising midterm funds the day after the election.
- The approach reverses the usual presidential distance from midterms, with aides saying they will "put him on the ballot" to mobilize low-propensity Trump voters.
- Wiles cited recent Democratic off-year gains as a warning, while Trump labeled "affordability" a Democratic "scam" even as both parties emphasize costs on the trail.
