President Donald Trump is on track for a strong showing in the upcoming midterm elections, with Republicans likely to capture both the House and the Senate, according to political adviser Dick Morris.
Speaking on Newsmax’s “The Count,” Morris dismissed negative projections from Democrats and argued that Trump has positioned himself and his party for significant gains in November.
“[It’s] time to correct the Democratic doom and gloom about the upcoming elections,” Morris told Newsmax’s “The Count.” “I think Trump is going to win the House and win the Senate.”
Morris attributed his confidence largely to what he described as a marked economic rebound under Trump’s leadership. He said the president has steered key economic indicators in a direction that could resonate strongly with voters.
“I think that he’s got the economy just where he needs it,” he said. “It’s creating jobs. He’s got inflation well under control. He’s reducing affordability costs that have plagued New Yorkers.”
Describing the economic shift as dramatic, Morris emphasized what he views as historically strong performance figures.
Calling the turnaround “so profound and so deep,” Morris added, “We have almost 0% inflation and about 4% growth, and nobody possibly could have done that before. And it’s just an incredible tribute.”
On border security, Morris credited Trump with decisive action to curb illegal crossings, arguing that immigration policy will also be a key factor in the election outcome.
On immigration, Morris said Trump “sealed the border” and “stopped illegal immigrants from coming in,” adding, “I think that he is set for a big win on Election Day of this year.”
Although Democrats have recently secured victories in several contests, Morris maintained that Trump remains competitive nationwide, including in states that traditionally favor Democrats.
Asked about recent Democrat victories in several races, Morris predicted Trump would remain competitive even in traditionally blue states.
“He’ll carry New York like one and, but he’ll carry swing states throughout the country,” Morris said. “People have always underestimated Trump’s ability to win, his ability to rally the average voter. And I think they’re doing it again.”
Morris also suggested that a forthcoming Supreme Court decision could significantly alter the political landscape by reshaping congressional districts across the country.
Morris also pointed to a potential Supreme Court ruling that he said could reshape the congressional map. “The Supreme Court, I think, is likely to throw out majority-minority districts,” he said.
He argued that districts designed to ensure minority representation unfairly favor Democrats and predicted the Court would invalidate such maps.
“Those seats that are Democrat only because they gerrymander the laws and the lines to make sure only Democrats and only liberal and Black Democrats can win,” Morris continued. “And the Supreme Court is about to throw that out and say that’s unconstitutional, race-based districting.”
According to Morris, a ruling along those lines would dramatically change the makeup of Congress.
Morris added that such a decision would have sweeping effects in Congress, saying it “is going to obliterate plenty of Black congressmen and Hispanic congressmen who were elected from districts that they shouldn’t be elected from.”
