What was said
"I have people that are like a little inside, like serious insiders that would be incentivized almost to black pill for fundraising purposes. And they're saying, yeah, Republicans are going to keep the House."
Trivium guitarist Phil Labonte claims insider Republican sources believe the party will retain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections, defying historical trends where the president's party loses seats. He notes that these sources have fundraising incentives to paint a pessimistic picture, making their optimism more credible. The forecast hinges on sustained GOP momentum and potential redistricting gains.
