Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
It is well known from the analysis of the three presidential elections in which President Trump ran that he turns out “low propensity” voters, that is, citizens who do not tend to vote in every election, or perhaps have not voted in a long time.
Many such voters have been disenchanted with politics in general, and unmotivated to vote, because they see so many politicians as weak, cowardly people who don’t say what they mean or mean what they say – and on top of that, what they do say doesn’t make any sense.
In President Trump, they see just the opposite. He speaks like they speak at home and around their friends. He makes sense. He makes commonsense promises and then fulfills them in a way that others could only wish.
And in both 2016 and 2024, the voters gave President Trump a Congress that could work with him to implement the agenda those voters wanted. It was a trifecta, with Republicans in the majority in both the House and the Senate – and we all know both the benefits and limitations of that.
Now we face the choice again.
I’m far more optimistic about the midterms than many, and my optimism is reinforced by voices like Dick Morris and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who point out several reasons why these midterms can buck the usual trend of midterm American politics.
One of the challenges for us, then, is that President Trump’s name is not on the ballot. We have to motivate the voters who came out last time precisely because of Trump to come out again – and precisely for the same reason. We don’t have to create a new reason.
In other words, we can ask the question, When you voted for Trump, did you vote to give him a four-year term or a two-year term?
That’s the question.
Because unless we vote again to give him a Congress that will, for the most part, work with him to advance his agenda (that is, OUR agenda), it will essentially have been a two-year term.
Democrat majorities in either the House or Senate or both will mean the attention of Congress, of the White House, and of the American people will get bogged down in endless obstructionism, fake investigations, unconstitutional impeachment efforts, and more.
We don’t have to imagine it. The Democrats have done it and have said they’ll do it again.
On the other hand, despite all the limitations even of a trifecta, to hold on to the Republican majorities in Congress – and even to expand them – means that our agenda moves forward, with more powerful legislation (like the Big Beautiful Law), more conservative judges on the courts (and possibly a Supreme Court Justice), more executive action to enhance our security, economy, and liberties (without Congressional obstruction), and more.
We all have been encouraged by the flood of executive orders President Trump has signed. A good number of these have in fact been solidified and made more permanent in legislation like the Big Beautiful Law, but many more still need to be enacted by Congress so that a Democrat President can’t just undo them with the stroke of an autopen.
That can’t happen without a 2026 midterm victory.
Let’s focus, and get everyone within our reach to focus, on signal rather than noise. Pay no attention to those who claim to be with us, but only seek to divide, to delve into distracting conspiracy theories, and to constantly complain that the long and ongoing string of victories by the Trump Administration somehow aren’t good enough. Don’t be sucked into believing there’s some kind of MAGA civil war. Even CNN has had to publicly admit the rock-solid support President Trump has with his base.
We need to focus, on what matters rather than on what distracts, and keep bringing our fellow citizens back to the question, Did you vote for President Trump and his (our) agenda to have a four-year term or two-year term?
If the former, then the very same motives, the very same enthusiasm, the very same President, policy goals and values they represent, need to get you up and get you working with vigor to preserve and expand the Republican Congressional majorities in 2026!
There is no “sitting it out.” We’re all going to live in the America, and under the policies, that our electoral choices bring about. So will our children and our grandchildren. We don’t get to exempt ourselves from that and neither do they. This is not a fight we choose; it chooses us. If we “sit it out,” our enemies won’t, and we will all pay the consequences.
The Democrats insist on being on the wrong side of every 80-20 issue. They’ve boxed themselves into that corner by their TDS, even when it alienates them from the American voters. Newt Gingrich said recently to House Speaker Mike Johnson about the m 2026 midterms that it’s not “a contract with America,” but a contrast for America. The Democrat Party has no leadership, and no constructive policies.
But we do. And we can win this. The outcome is not decided by pundits, pollsters, or past history. It’s decided by us.
Lovers of America, let’s roll!
