Trump has ‘delivered’ for his voter base ahead of midterm elections: Sarah Bedford
Washington Examiner’s investigations editor Sarah Bedford said President Donald Trump has delivered on his campaign promises ahead of the 2026 elections, which could motivate Trump supporters ahead of a tough election cycle.
Trump and the Republican Party are seeking to retain their majority in Congress in 2026 to continue the president’s agenda. Ahead of the November elections, several media outlets have pointed to lower gas prices and net migration in the United States during Trump’s presidency.
Bedford joked she is unsure if CNN views a decrease in net migration as a positive, but Trump supporters “certainly” believe Trump is delivering on his 2024 campaign promises.
“Affordability, while it’s slow and people aren’t necessarily feeling it every day at the grocery store and wherever else they shop, inflation is slowing, and so there are a lot of policy promises that Trump has delivered on,” Bedford said on Fox Business’s The Evening Edit, guest-hosted by Edward Lawrence.
“And that’s good because Republicans risk losing the House next fall, and Trump could be running out of runway to get a lot of this stuff done. So packing it all in the first two years of his term, it’s a smart strategy,” Bedford added.
Trump previewed the Republican Party’s messaging going into the 2026 midterm elections in an interview published Saturday, saying it will focus on “pricing.” This comes shortly after he claimed the Democratic Party is focusing on a “dead” issue with affordability.
Bedford also reacted to several predictions various Fox News anchors gave for 2026, one of which was Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany’s prediction that a Democratic candidate would emulate Trump by announcing a 2028 presidential run before the end of 2026.
Bedford said McEnany’s prediction is her “favorite,” echoing her other prediction that Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) will be the Democratic candidate for 2028.

For her own prediction, Bedford said she believes the Supreme Court will make “a major decision” on transgender people participating in sports in 2026, adding that Democrats are “probably nervous” about this.
Newsom confirmed in October that he is considering a possible 2028 run for the White House, saying he’d be “lying” if he said he wasn’t. The governor and his press office have mocked Trump on social media, writing out messages and poking fun at the president and his administration.
