House Speaker Mike Johnson Looks Into the Cameras, Drops Midterm Bombshell That Will Panic Democrats
Washington, D.C. - May 26, 2026
HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON DROPS MIDTERM BOMBSHELL ON FOX & FRIENDS: TRUMP IRAN PEACE DEAL TO SLASH GAS PRICES AND DELIVER GOP HOUSE VICTORY
House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared on Fox & Friends at the Indianapolis 500 Sunday and delivered a confident message that has Democrats scrambling. Johnson declared he is “very confident” President Donald J. Trump will soon announce a historic peace deal with Iran that will stabilize the Middle East and bring immediate relief to American families at the pump.
This will allow 60 days to get the details done, and the number-one condition has been that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
We’ll take care of the nuclear dust. We’ll get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, which will be great for gas prices here and stability around the world.
And that’s why all the regional allies there and all the regional countries are following U.S. leadership under President Trump.
When co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy pressed Johnson on the political impact, the Speaker made clear the timing could not be better for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterms.
Yeah, it’s a big thing.
Obviously we’ve done a lot of work: The Big Beautiful Bill, the working families tax cut — all of the legislation has been geared towards the cost of living, affordability, bringing the cost of living down.
We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket, and we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter, and then the Iran skirmish began.
So, when this settles down, gas prices come back down to earth, that means your grocery prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest.
It’s going to be a big factor. The kitchen table issues are gonna decide the midterms.
Johnson added that Republicans have “plenty of runway,” superior candidates, and a fundraising edge.
We’re super excited about the midterms. I’m absolutely convinced that we’re gonna grow the majority and get this done and make history.
President Trump reinforced the positive momentum with a powerful Truth Social post outlining ongoing negotiations.
“Negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all — Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before — And nobody wants that!”
Trump expressed hope that several key Middle East nations will join the Abraham Peace Accords once a settlement with Iran is reached.
“Those Countries discussed are Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates (already a Member!), Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain (already a Member!),”
“It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so, and that will be accepted, but most should be ready, willing, and able to make this Settlement with Iran a far more Historic Event than it would, otherwise, be,”
“In speaking to numerous of the Great Leaders mentioned above, they would be honored, as soon as our Document is signed, to have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords,”
“Wow, now that would be something special! This will be the most important Deal that any of these Great, but always in Conflict Countries, will ever sign,”
“Nothing in the past, or in the future, will surpass it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all Countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords, and that, if Iran signs its Agreement with me, as President of the United States of America, it would be an Honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled World Coalition,”
The combination of a looming Iran peace deal, falling energy prices, and strong Republican momentum has Democrats in full panic mode as the midterms draw closer.
With kitchen-table issues like gas and groceries poised to improve rapidly, Speaker Johnson’s outlook signals a clear path for Republicans to expand their House majority and deliver even more wins for the American people under President Trump’s America First leadership.
Election Landslide — Hakeem Jeffries CRUSHED

Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Democratic Congressional Map; Jeffries and Party Leaders Discuss Dramatic Responses
Washington, D.C. — The Virginia Supreme Court has overturned a voter-approved congressional redistricting plan backed by Democrats, dealing a significant setback to the party’s efforts to gain seats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
In a 4-3 ruling issued Friday, the court concluded that the Democratic-controlled legislature failed to follow required procedures when placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot authorizing mid-decade redistricting. Although voters narrowly approved the amendment on April 21, the decision effectively invalidated the result.
Writing for the majority, Justice D. Arthur Kelsey said lawmakers presented the constitutional amendment to voters “in an unprecedented manner.” He added, “This violation irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void.”
The rejected map had been expected to give Democrats an advantage in 10 of the state’s 11 congressional districts. Democratic leaders, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, held a private meeting Saturday to discuss responses to the ruling. According to The New York Times, participants expressed frustration and considered several options, including what journalist Reid J. Epstein described as an “audacious and possibly far-fetched idea” to replace the entire state Supreme Court in order to reinstate the map.
“The most dramatic idea they discussed — which would involve an unusual gambit to replace the entire state Supreme Court, with a goal of reinstating their gerrymandered map — drew mixed reactions on the call,” Epstein reported.
Other ideas discussed included ways to flip two or three Republican-held seats under the current map and a “bank-shot proposal to redraw the congressional lines anyway.” Jeffries vowed that the ruling “will not stand,” and Democratic leaders in Virginia filed a motion late Friday seeking to pause the decision while pursuing an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The call reflected what Epstein described as the “desperation and fury” currently gripping the party. It was not clear that the proposal to replace the court would be viable or palatable to Gov. Abigail Spanberger or Democrats in the Virginia General Assembly. A number of Virginia House Democrats participated in the discussion.
The ruling comes amid a broader national redistricting battle. A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Louisiana v. Callais significantly narrowed key provisions of the Voting Rights Act by ruling that racially drawn districts are unconstitutional, opening opportunities for Republicans in several Southern states. Combined with aggressive GOP-led redistricting in states such as Florida, the Virginia decision is expected to strengthen Republican advantages heading into the midterms.
Democratic leaders had hoped the Virginia map would help counter Republican gains elsewhere, but the court’s decision has reshaped the battle for House control. While some maps remain subject to legal challenges, the overall trajectory has shifted against Democrats in several key states.

Alabama Asks Supreme Court to Restore 2023 Congressional Map; Redistricting Wars Shift Further Toward Republicans
Washington, D.C. — Alabama has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the state to use a 2023 congressional map with one majority-Black district rather than a court-ordered map containing two such districts ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Alabama Solicitor General A. Barrett Bowdre told the justices that the state should not be forced to “hold elections under a map that was erroneously ordered at best and unconstitutional at worst.” He argued that Americans deserve “a republic free of racial sorting now,” and that state officials should have the opportunity to provide it.
The request comes after the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which significantly narrowed the parameters of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and declared that districts drawn specifically to favor race or an ethnic group are unconstitutional. Republicans have used the ruling to advance maps in several Southern states.
At the latest count, Republicans could add as many as 14 additional congressional seats in the fall midterms through redistricting, while Democrats could add six, with fewer than 16 seats considered toss-ups or close. Specific projected gains include Ohio (R+2), Missouri (R+1), Tennessee (R+1), North Carolina (R+1), Florida (R+4), and Texas (R+5). Democrats project gains in California (D+5) and Utah (D+1).
Republicans could also pick up additional seats in South Carolina, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi following the Court’s narrowing of the Voting Rights Act. In Tennessee, the Republican-led legislature recently approved a new map that removes the state’s only Democrat-held, majority-Black district, resulting in an all-Republican delegation.
In a separate development, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a Democratic-inspired gerrymandered congressional map on Friday in a 4-3 ruling. The court concluded that the Democratic-controlled legislature failed to follow required procedures when placing a constitutional amendment on the ballot. The rejected map would have given Democrats nine of the state’s 11 House seats despite receiving only about 47 percent of the vote in the last congressional election.
Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, are assessing the potential impact on the party’s chances of regaining control of Congress. The combined effect of court rulings and Republican-led redistricting has substantially altered the landscape heading into the midterms, with Republicans appearing to hold a clear advantage in the ongoing redistricting battles.
