The Speaker of the House said at a news conference Wednesday that Republicans will hold majorities in both chambers of Congress and win the White House in 2026, 2028, 2030, and beyond. The remarks followed primary victories by several candidates in New York City on Tuesday.
The Speaker stated that Republicans will maintain control of the House after the November elections regardless of the size of the majority. The Speaker also said Republicans will win the White House, Senate, and House in 2028 due to the party's candidate bench.
The Speaker said the 2030 census will show population losses in states including New York, New Jersey, and California, resulting in fewer House seats for those states. The Speaker said states including Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and the Carolinas will gain seats from population growth.
Current projections estimate California, Illinois, and New York will lose a combined six House seats while Texas gains four, Florida gains two, and North Carolina gains one.
