The Daily Blast: Trump Erupts in Wild Panic as GOP Midterm Leaks Grow Urgent: “Wipeout”

Republicans leaking about the midterms are growing more alarmed. One GOP operative in Iowa says this (washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/09/28/iowa-re…): “It feels like it could be a wipeout.” In story (axios.com/2026/09/26/trump-republicans-midterm…) after story (washingtonsun.com/campaigns/senate-republican-…), Republicans are confiding about their mounting panic. A GOP pollster who privately told donors that the Senate might hold was mocked (axios.com/2026/09/26/senate-republicans-sea-is…) by Republicans themselves as “delusional.” Meanwhile, over the last few days, Trump has unraveled in a series of panicky Truth Social posts. In one, he ranted at length (truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1173388…) about how great the economy is and ordered Americans to “VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.” In several (truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1173484…) other (truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1173485…) truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1173402…, he raged at the media for reporting “Fake Polls” while not reporting all the fabulous economic news. We talked to Melissa Toufanian, managing director at the progressive firm Navigator Research, which has done interesting polling (navigatorresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/…) on Trump supporters who now regret their vote. She explains what’s really happening with voters in red states with big races, what focus groups reveal about how Trump-backing constituencies see him now, and why politicians from both parties should listen carefully to what voters are really telling them.
