Elon Musk reveals his big prediction for 2026 midterm elections after Trump's fiery joint session speech

Daily Mail  

Elon Musk thinks that after President Donald Trump's joint session address Republicans can win an even larger majority in the Senate in the 2026 midterms. This means to fulfill Musk's prediction, the GOP would need to gain seven seats in the 2026 midterm elections to reach 60 total. Elon Musk thinks that Republican momentum after President Donald Trump's joint address will earn the party a whopping seven more seats in the Senate in the 2026 midterms There are 13 Democrats up for reelection in the midterms, but 20 Republicans are also up and need to hold onto their seats if they want to maintain a majority in the Senate for the entirety of Trump's second term. Musk predicts the Senate will get a 60-senator majority for the first time since the late 1970s But Musk thinks despite there being only two Democratic seats considered a 'toss-up' by the Cook Political Report, Republicans still have the momentum to nab a net seven seats to bring their majority to 60.
