Perhaps. It depends on how many Dems and Independents come out to vote in 2026. And how many Reps don't. The best we can hope for is Dems win back the House and Senate.
The Dem coalition is now highly optimized for mid-term elections, as they are winning high-propensity college-educated and "elite" voters by commanding margins, and many low-propensity Trump voters only turn out when Trump is on the ballot. 2026 will likely be a solid victory for Dems.
This year the problem was the 11,000,000 Biden voters for whom Trump's autocracy was not a deal-breaker. And why? According to them it was Gaza and the fact Harris dared to campaign with Never Trumpers.
If we're lucky, 2 years at most.

From your pen to God's ears.
I do not want to hear another politician end a speech with "God bless America." More apropos would be "God have mercy on America."
