Trump is clearly thinking about what he leaves behind. His face is now on a dollar coin. He’s pushing huge construction projects. He’s putting his name and fingerprints all over Washington.
But the people who actually have to win elections are starting to worry about 2026.
And that’s a bad combination.
If Republican candidates start believing that being too closely tied to Trump is hurting them, you’re going to see more of them quietly create distance before November.
That could get very ugly for the party.

Republicans Trash Midterm Convention; Dozens Will Blow It Off…
New reporting on President Donald Trump’s already beleaguered midterm convention reveals that dozens of House Republicans plan to blow it off entirely.
Politico surveyed more than 70 GOP House members about whether they will attend the two-day confab on Sept. 9-10 in Dallas, and 45 said they will skip the event.
An unnamed Republican sounded off to Politico — calling the convention “a waste of time,” and added the planning has been “a mess.”
“You shouldn’t be having to rally your base at this point,” the anonymous Republican added. “You should be trying to convince independents. Independents are not attending nor watching the midterm convention.”
Trump will give the speech to close out the convention on Sept. 10 — as part of his reported and declared efforts to make the midterms a referendum on himself. But there are questions about whether members of Congress in close races want to be seen with him.
