Republicans are poised to flip seven states in the midterms despite President Donald Trump’s waning popularity creating challenges for the GOP

Republicans reportedly have a real chance of flipping seven Democratic-held Senate and gubernatorial seats in the 2026 midterms, despite experts saying that President Donald Trump’s underwater approval rating has created a difficult national environment for the GOP. Four Senate races — Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire — and three gubernatorial contests in Kansas, Oregon and Wisconsin have become potential pickup opportunities for Republicans, according to reports.
