With the 2026 midterms a little over four months away and President Donald Trump continuing to suffer from weak approval ratings in poll after poll, Democratic strategists are feeling cautiously optimistic about their ability to recapture the U.S. House of Representatives — and they believe the U.S. Senate is in play for them as well. But according to the New York Times, Trump has a variety of schemes designed to shield Republicans from major losses in November.Trump, journalists Karen Yourish, Nick Corasaniti and Charlie Smart report in the Times, "is trying to use the levers of the federal government, along with personal influence over state and local lawmakers, to reshape the rules governing the 2026 midterms and future elections in extraordinary ways.""Many of these efforts have been blocked by courts, stymied by the Constitution or stopped in Congress," the reporters explain. "But the relentless assault by the president on the electoral process — both administratively and rhetorically — is likely to sow doubt and lay groundwork for extensive challenges to election results. Agencies and officials across the federal government have, at the direction of Mr. Trump, undertaken dozens of actions grounded in novel strategies and aimed at insulating Republicans from potential losses in November. Those actions fall into six major categories, and some fall into more than one."Those six categories, according to Yourish, Corasaniti and Smart, are: (1) "taking steps to nationalize elections," (2) "trying to tighten voting restrictions," (3) "pushing for mid-decade redistricting," (4) "cutting election security," (5) "undermining faith in the electoral system by questioning previous results," and (6) "punishing those who have worked against election denialism." Trump, the Times reporters note, has "installed" a long list of "election deniers" in the federal government — including Jeanine Pirro, Harmeet K. Dhillon and FBI Director Kash Patel at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Patrick Weaver at the Defense Department, and Heather Honey and Secretary Markwayne Mullin at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)."While Mr. Trump's attempts to use executive orders to change elections have been largely blocked by courts," Yourish, Corasaniti and Smart explain, "the president and his allies have found other avenues to add new restrictions to voting that are designed to help them win at the ballot box. Soon after Mr. Trump took office, the Justice Department dropped or halted all of its open voting rights lawsuits that preceded Mr. Trump's inauguration, easing the path for partisan gerrymanders and voting laws to withstand legal scrutiny. That included dropping a lawsuit against a voting law in Georgia. The number of lawyers working in the voting-rights arm of the Justice Department, one of the government's critical bulwarks against civil rights abuses in voting and elections, has dwindled from about 30 at the end of the Biden administration to the single digits after resignations, cuts and reassignments."

Sources close to the White House told RADAR Online in a Wednesday story that members of President Donald Trump’s stalwart followers are finally getting furious at all the money he keeps generating off the White House."People backed Trump because they believed he would fight for them and were hoodwinked into thinking he cared about the working classes who brought him into power,” said a longtime Republican activist familiar with grassroots sentiment among Trump's MAGA base. “Seeing billions tied to crypto makes some loyal supporters uncomfortable and most of them have no idea what crypto is, let alone have the resources to invest in it. They feel this isn't public service anymore."RADAR reports Trump triggered fresh criticism after financial disclosures showed he earned more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures during his first year back in the White House, on top of other profits Trump has managed to grab for himself and his family in the last few months. First Lady Melania Trump herself also earned at least $10.7 million due to her controversial and critically-maligned documentary, "Melania."Another MAGA source speaking with RADAR Online added: "Many voters won't begrudge Trump's success, but these numbers are staggering. Critics inside the MAGA movement are calling it shameful and asking whether the presidency is becoming Trump's personal cash machine."Trump has also earned $290 million from his businesses including $77 million from Mar-a-Lago and additional profits from Trump National Doral, Bedminster and Trump National Washington DC. He additionally pocketed $86 million from settlements with media and social media companies like ABC, CBS, Meta, YouTube and X.“This isn't a cumulative number — it's in one year,” former Trump attorney Ty Cobb, who worked for Trump during his first term, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Tuesday. Cobb was referring to Trump earning between $1 billion and $2 billion from his cryptocurrency ventures since assuming office for his second term in early 2025. “This is an industry he has actively promoted and supported, and — on policy, executive orders related to it — is it legal? I don't believe so, and certainly I don't think it was contemplated by the Founders when they created the Emoluments Clause.”In April MS NOW News reporter Alex Tabet pointed out that people are investing in Trump’s cryptocurrency coin not because of its intrinsic value but because it grants them access to the president.“Let me break down how this Mar-a-Lago crypto conference works,” Tabet wrote. “So, the top 297 holders of this Trump Coin — which buying, by the way, enriches the Trump family — gets you invited to the conference. The top 29 buyers of the coin get a special VIP reception with President Trump, complete with champagne.”He added, “And if I were one of those 29 people, I'd be hoping it's a bottomless brunch because the value of the Trump Coin has been absolutely decimated. The coin is down more than 84 percent in the last year, down 96 percent from its peak. So, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those attendees today were using those champagne flutes to catch their tears.”
