Trump is scrambling to 'avoid suffering through dozens of new investigations': report

More than a year before the 2026 midterm election really kicks into gear, Donald Trump is sticking his nose into Republican Party plans to keep control of both chambers of Congress under its thumb.

According to a report from Politico, the president has two reasons to hope that the GOP can defy history and not lose seats in the next election and one of them is making sure Democrats don't gain control of the House which could lead to a repeat of the last two years of his first term.

As Politico is reporting, Trump has begun siding with more moderate members of the GOP caucus who could face an uphill battle retaining their seats in congressional districts that Democrats see as flippable.

The report notes Trump realizes that a House controlled by Democrats could lead to a flood of investigations by multiple committees about his current activities.

Politico's Rachel Bade is reporting the president is, "... deeply motivated by his desire to avoid suffering through dozens of new investigations and a third potential impeachment.

According to one insider, "He knows what happens if we lose the House,” while pointunbg to several impeachment proposals that have already been floated by Democrats.

Calling what is currently going on as "Trump’s midterm obsession," the report adds, "He’s rolling out early endorsements in hopes of forestalling messy primary fights that could divert precious resources from the general election campaigns. He’s making recruitment calls and buttonholing other Republicans about how he can best use his political muscle. And he’s continuing to raise boatloads of money to shell out in 2026."
