Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson shared his speculations for MAGA ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
In a recent Substack post, Wilson wrote that MAGA cannot win a fair midterm election fight and plans to resort to cheating.
“Let me tell you a secret about the MAGA movement that isn’t a secret at all, because they keep saying it out loud: they know they can’t win a fair fight in November,” Wilson wrote.
The former GOP operative argued, despite MAGA’s financial backing from tech and media ecosystems, Republicans recognize electoral vulnerability given an unpopular president, economic instability, and the Iran war.
Drawing on his experience as a GOP operative, Wilson explained, “I know how that room smells when the numbers go south, and all the culture war garbage in the world won’t fix it.”
“It smells like fear, and fear in that party has exactly one output: cheat harder.”
He emphasized Democrats have 90 days to shift from running a campaign to running a “midterm operation,” a critical distinction for countering Republican plans.
Wilson urged Democrats to win decisively enough that MAGA cannot cheat its way back to power.
He characterized the upcoming midterms as “an actual contest over whether elections in this country still decide who holds power,” noting that Republicans have already mobilized with control of the Court, federal agencies, financial resources, and electoral infrastructure.
