Trump comments on midterm election pattern

President Donald Trump has commented on the historical pattern of U.S. midterm elections, noting that the party of the sitting president has consistently lost seats for the last 50 years. He stated his party should 'do good' in the upcoming midterms but acknowledged they are trying to 'turn around' this entrenched trend. Trump observed that this pattern holds true 'even when you have a great president.' The remarks come as the Republican Party prepares for the 2026 midterm elections during Trump's second term.
