How likely is it 2026 is a 2022-esq midterm?

I'd be lying if I said Ik what the country's gonna look like in 2 years but at face-value that's not part of their plan the GOP's economic program aims to follow the early 80s blueprint of induce recession, eat the shocks in the midterms year 2, ride the boom year 4, all while capturing high-propensity suburban voters with SALT/school-choice and molding a propaganda apparatus that the (hopefully) post-Trump GOP can leverage to overcome the national debt/various industry collapses from deregulation

If you mean how it goes relative to how midterms should go, no, I expect 2026 to likely be a normal midterms, unlike 2022, which went slightly worse for the Dems that it should've honestly.

If you mean based on how people expect it to go, depends on what analysts guess. If they still keep expecting Dems to make the same amount of gains seat wise the GOP did beneath Clinton and Obama, though (or hell, as many as they made in 2018), I'd say they can dream on.

I wouldn't surprised at 2014 GOP vibes. I mean, Georgia having a D Gov and several House seats in its delegation flip like Iowa flipping in 2014 wouldn't surprise me.
