达拉斯讯——与两年前民主党对待前任总统的态度相比，本届选举周期中特朗普总统受到共和党同僚的欢迎程度要高得多。
传统政治智慧认为，执政党会在中期选举年的国会选举中遭遇席位流失。反对总统所在政党的选民通常比支持其政策的选民更有投票积极性。
但共和党却寄望出现相反的结果。首届共和党中期大会上，这位总司令发表了连续两场主旨演讲，内阁官员、盟友和国会议员也相继发表演说。
“我请大家把我当成在参选的候选人，”特朗普在周三对听众说道。将于11月参加摇摆选区选举的共和党在任议员和候选人也登上了舞台，尽管特朗普本人的支持率低迷，但所有发言者都表现出了信心。
民主党瞄准12个额外红区，力争重夺众议院多数席位

“2024年我们与特朗普总统、宾夕法尼亚州共和党参议员戴夫·麦考密克和我一同参选——选民选举我们是为了实现真正的变革和成果，而我们确实做到了，比如 securing the border（边境安保）和推出历史性的减税政策，”宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员瑞安·麦肯齐在大会间隙向福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“如今我们看到，在中期选举中，我们实际上将打破历史趋势。为什么？因为民主党太过左倾，完全脱离了民众。”
共和党认为，他们对民主党社会主义攻势的警告将有助于他们在今年保住众议院和参议院的多数席位，同时宣扬特朗普标志性的《宏大美好法案》中的减税政策。
纽约郊区或将决定哪一党派掌控众议院
麦肯齐是本届选举周期中民主党重点攻击的目标之一，纽约州共和党众议员迈克·劳勒所在的纽约市郊选区同样是民主党瞄准的重点。
“他是美国总统，无论是乔·拜登还是唐纳德·特朗普，我始终都会与总统互动，”劳勒向福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“你必须能够与总统接触，坦率地说，我认为民主党在这里犯了一个非常大的错误。如果他们能以建设性的方式接触，他们能获得更多他们想要的东西。”
劳勒、麦肯齐和宾夕法尼亚州共和党众议员罗布·布雷斯纳汉是上周大会期间与特朗普一同登台的三位弱势在任议员。

特朗普走访关键摇摆选区推销减税政策，为中期选举前的共和党助选
劳勒在活动中介绍了他选区的两位居民，他们的女儿在芝加哥被一名非法移民杀害——这一感人案例成为共和党所说的如果民主党获胜可能会更频繁发生的事件的象征。
近几个月来，特朗普在全国巡回为共和党助选以保住国会多数席位的过程中，也在他们各自的选区开展了竞选活动。
但不仅仅是弱势在任议员在达拉斯与特朗普一同亮相。这场为期两天的大会还吸引了来自全国各地的候选人，甚至包括那些选情胶着的候选人。
共和党面临严峻中期选举逆风，将选举描绘为“与共产主义的竞争”
“当人们说有人在回避特朗普总统时，我可以告诉你，我绝对没有这么做。让我告诉你原因：他曾向南德州做出承诺，并且兑现了承诺，尤其是在边境安保方面，”候选人埃里克·弗洛雷斯向福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
约翰逊淡化共和党中期选举困境，民主党着眼夺回众议院：“我非常乐观”
“我的对手说，昏昏欲睡的乔·拜登政府和不作为的边境事务主管卡玛拉·哈里斯走在正确的轨道上。让我告诉你我的亲身经历：我曾参与‘守护者行动’，是边境地区的联邦检察官。当时那里是一场人道主义危机。特朗普总统上任第一天就巩固了我们的边境安全。”
弗洛雷斯正在竞选出票目前由得克萨斯州民主党众议员维森特·冈萨雷斯占据的南得克萨斯州选区席位。
时间会证明这一策略是否奏效，但民主党已经开始利用这一点，希望与特朗普绑定的做法能像2018年一样让共和党候选人落败。

“瑞安·麦肯齐、罗布·布雷斯纳汉和斯科特·佩里今晚明确了他们的优先事项：他们更关心唐纳德·特朗普推高成本的议程，而不是宾夕法尼亚州人民的最佳利益，”宾夕法尼亚州民主党主席尤金·德帕斯夸尔在一份声明中说道。
“麦肯齐、布雷斯纳汉、佩里以及整个宾夕法尼亚州共和党不远万里飞往德克萨斯州，宣扬抬高油价、提高关税成本和削减医保的政策，他们已经证明，每次都会将特朗普的利益置于我们联邦州之上——宾夕法尼亚州人民已经准备好在11月将他们赶下台。”

Vulnerable House Republicans embrace Trump as GOP bets on defying midterm history
September 13, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News
It’s a departure from Democrats keeping former President Biden at arm’s length during the 2022 midterms
By Elizabeth Elkind, Paul Steinhauser
Battleground Republicans talk running close to Trump in midterms
Reps. Ryan Mackenzie and Mike Lawler, along with candidate Eric Flores, told Fox News Digital why they’re aligning with President Donald Trump ahead of November’s GOP midterm elections.

DALLAS — President Donald Trump is getting a much warmer reception from his fellow Republicans during this election cycle than his predecessor did from Democrats this time two years ago.
Conventional political wisdom dictates that the party in power will suffer losses in Congress during a midterm election year. Americans who oppose the president’s party are typically more motivated to vote than people who support their agenda.
But the GOP is banking on the opposite effect. The first-ever GOP midterm convention featured back-to-back keynote addresses from the commander-in-chief, as well as speeches from his Cabinet officials, allies and members of Congress.
“I’m asking you to pretend that I’m on the ballot,” Trump told his audience on Wednesday. Republican incumbents and candidates running in battleground districts this November also took the stage, and all speakers projected confidence despite Trump’s own low approval numbers.
DEMOCRATS TARGETING 12 ADDITIONAL RED DISTRICTS IN MIDTERMS PUSH TO RETAKE HOUSE

“We ran together in 2024 on a ticket with President Trump, Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa. and myself — voters elected all of us to deliver real change and results, and we’ve actually been able to do that with securing the border and delivering historic tax relief,” Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa., told Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the convention.
“Now what we’re seeing is in a midterm, we are actually going to defy the historic trends. Why is that? Because the Democrats are so far left they are totally out of touch.”
Republicans believe their warnings of Democrats’ socialist insurgency will help them keep their majorities in the House and Senate this year, along with touting Trump’s signature tax cuts in the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act.
HOW ONE NYC SUBURB COULD DECIDE WHICH PARTY CONTROLS THE HOUSE
Mackenzie is one of Democrats’ top targets in the election cycle, along with Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., in the suburbs outside New York City.
“He’s the President of the United States, and whether it was Joe Biden or Donald Trump, I’ve always shown up,” Lawler told Fox News Digital. “You have to be able to engage with the president, and, you know, frankly, this is where I think the Democrats have made a very big mistake. They could get a lot more in terms of what it is that they want if they would actually engage constructively.”
Lawler, Mackenzie and Rep. Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., are the three vulnerable incumbents who took the stage during the convention last week.

TRUMP HITS KEY BATTLEGROUNDS TO SELL TAX CUTS, BOOST GOP AHEAD OF MIDTERMS
Lawler, for his part, introduced two residents from his district whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant in Chicago — a poignant symbol of what Republicans say could happen more often if Democrats win.
Trump has also campaigned in each of their districts in recent months as he crisscrosses the country in a bid to keep control of Congress for the latter half of his final term.
But it was not just vulnerable incumbents who appeared in Dallas alongside Trump. The two-day affair also brought candidates from across the country, even those running in tight races.
GOP FACES BRUTAL MIDTERM HEADWINDS AS REPUBLICANS PAINT ELECTION AS ‘COMPETITION WITH COMMUNISM’
“When people say that folks are running away from President Trump, I’ll tell you I’m certainly not doing that. And let me tell you why: because he has made promises to South Texas, and he has kept them, especially when we look at border security,” candidate Eric Flores told Fox News Digital.
JOHNSON DOWNPLAYS GOP’S MIDTERM WOES AS DEMOCRATS EYE HOUSE TAKEOVER: ‘I AM VERY BULLISH’
“My opponent, who said, you know, that the sleepy Joe Biden administration and the no-show border czar, Kamala Harris, were on the right track. Let me tell you firsthand, I was on Operation Guardian support, was a federal prosecutor on the border. It was a humanitarian crisis. President Trump, on day one, secured our border.”
Flores is running in a South Texas district currently represented by Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas.
Time will tell if the strategy pays off, but Democrats are already seizing on it in hopes that associating with Trump will sink GOP candidates like it did in 2018.
TRUMP’S APPROVAL RATING PLUMMETS TO NEW LOW AHEAD OF CRITICAL MIDTERMS: ‘MORE WORK TO DO’

“Ryan Mackenzie, Rob Bresnahan and Scott Perry made their priorities clear tonight: they care more about Donald Trump’s cost-raising agenda than what’s best for the people of Pennsylvania,” Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Eugene DePasquale said in a statement.
“After jetting all the way to Texas to champion an agenda of higher gas prices, cost-raising tariffs, and healthcare cuts,Mackenzie,Bresnahan, Perry and the entire PA GOP have proven that they’ll put Trump ahead of our Commonwealth every single time — and Pennsylvanians are ready to send them packing this November.”
