She warned Republicans risk losing the House next fall, so packing accomplishments into the first two years of the term is a smart strategy. Trump plans to make &#8220;pricing&#8221; a central 2026 message, framing Democrats as out of touch on affordability. Bedford also reacted to on-air predictions about 2026 and beyond, calling gavin Newsom a likely Democratic 2028 contender and predicting the Supreme Court will make a major decision on transgender participation in sports in 2026.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump has &lsquo;delivered&rsquo; for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-supreme-court-reforms-driven-by-disaffected-democrats-skewing-polls-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s ... reforms driven by disaffected Democrats skewing polls - Washington Examiner\">voter base ahead<\/a> of midterm elections: Sarah Bedford<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2459745\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner&rsquo;s<\/em> investigations editor <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3916468\/democratic-party-structure-redistricting-supreme-court-ruling-2030-census\/\">Sarah Bedford<\/a> said President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4364551\/leavitt-trump-revoke-citizenship-somalis-fraud-minnesota\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> has delivered on his campaign promises ahead of the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4375353\/kamala-harris-2026-midterm-elections-presidential-hopes\/\">2026 elections<\/a>, which could motivate Trump supporters ahead of a tough election cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/republican-party\/\">Republican Party<\/a> are seeking to retain their majority in Congress in 2026 to continue the president&rsquo;s agenda.
