But here’s the issue: those voters came out for Trump, not for the Republican Party.
Establishment figures like Mitch McConnell—cheered on by the corporate media—spent years undermining Trump’s bold policies. From opposing border security to sabotaging Trump’s trade efforts, the swamp creatures have never been on the side of the America First agenda.
Now, the price of that disloyalty is catching up.
The latest alarm bell rang out in Wisconsin, where leftist Susan Crawford cruised to a 55–45 victory over conservative Brad Schimel in the state’s Supreme Court race. That win gave Democrats a dangerous 4–3 majority—and revealed something even more alarming: Trump’s voters stayed home.
Former Trump White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer didn’t sugarcoat it.
“It’s a special election, it’s off season right but that’s still not bad you’re, you’re about down 300 and plus, the Republicans who had gotten 1.6 with Donald Trump leading the ticket went down to 1.05. That’s a huge problem […] that’s the turnout, the motivation problem,” Spicer said in a recent interview.
In short—without Trump, enthusiasm collapses.
According to Spicer, Republicans are now staring down a massive problem: understanding the loyalty and motivation of the Trump base. Without that insight, they’re flying blind into 2026.
“What is driving that? Are they pissed off? Are they pissed off at Donald Trump? Are they pissed off at their, you know, what’s going on in Wisconsin, or are they not motivated?” Spicer added. “Did they only turn out because of Donald Trump? Did they only want to see him? And I think that understanding that is critical to the midterms because you need to understand, are you facing a motivation or a mechanical problem? And nowhere better than Wisconsin did that show up.”

And that’s the critical question the GOP brass continues to avoid: the average Trump supporter isn’t loyal to the Republican brand—they’re loyal to Trump.
Unless Republican leadership starts listening to the America First base, the midterms could turn into another nightmare.
Spicer pointed out the obvious—Democrats brought their voters to the polls. Republicans didn’t.
“The problem with the Republicans… both parties attritted from 2024, which is, again, it’s a general election,” Spicer said. “You guys did a better job of getting your folks motivated out there.”
Democrats continue to mobilize their voters—even without Biden generating enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the GOP is still hoping Trump supporters will come out for candidates who openly defy Trump’s agenda.
That strategy has failed. Repeatedly.
Trump has battled Democrats, the media, and his own party from day one. And after nearly a decade, the GOP elite still hasn’t figured it out.
If establishment Republicans don’t stop fighting the MAGA movement and start embracing it, they’re going to walk straight into another red wave that fizzles before it even begins.
2026 is shaping up to be a defining moment.
Either the GOP learns to ride the Trump wave—or it gets drowned by it.
