We’ve defeated Democrat control electorally, but now it’s time to break the Democrats' permanent majority over ideological issues. Today, I offer a provocative thought – that even as Democrats failed to win a permanent electoral majority, they have created a permanent ideological majority. Republican officials and even their voters now subscribe to so many liberal ideas on fiscal and social issues that are to the left of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign. Next, I analyze Trump’s appointments and the race for Senate majority leader and offer a principled but pragmatic way to staff Trump’s Cabinet. Conservatives are concerned about the prospect of John Thune for majority leader, but the reason he will likely win is because they slept through red-state Senate primaries. I go through the list of red-state senatorial and gubernatorial elections for 2026 so you can see how big our opportunity is to change the party. If we actually build a movement, we can elect 15 red-state governors who govern like DeSantis, but only if we stay focused and get Trump to make the right endorsements.
