President Donald Trump said point-blank last week that he does not care about the midterms. His slate of endorsements, his campaign to purge Republicans he deems disloyal regardless of the fallout, and his stalled, near-invisible legislative agenda suggest he may not be bluffing.<\/p>\n

For Trump, \u201cthere might be political upside regardless of who wins,\u201d argues Bloomberg columnist Abby McCloskey.<\/p>\n

After all, McCloskey notes, Trump endorsed Texas Republican Ken Paxton over John Cornyn for Cornyn\u2019s Senate seat only at the last minute \u2014 when polling suggested Paxton had pulled ahead. Trump may simply have been going with the stronger candidate, despite possibly handing Democrats a red Senate seat in the November general election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also not seeing any attempt to woo back voters worried about rising costs,\u201d McCloskey writes. \u201cThere\u2019s no legislative action on the horizon to address economic woes or bolster consumer confidence. Instead, Trump went on the record saying he doesn\u2019t \u2018think about Americans\u2019 financial situation.\u2019 What a gift for Democratic campaign ads.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump, McCloskey argues, may have declared his midterms indifference after reading the tea leaves: prediction markets show Democrats have an 80 percent chance to flip the House to blue, and even a \u201ccoin toss\u201d chance to flip the Senate. The president may simply be sensing what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s another reason why Trump may not care about Republicans winning the midterms.<\/p>\n

Trump \u201closing control of Congress wouldn\u2019t have much impact on his governing agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from his One Big Beautiful Bill Act last summer, \u201cthere\u2019s essentially been no major legislative agenda to speak of that would require the support of Congress,\u201d says McCloskey. \u201cTrump has relied on executive action more than any modern president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democrats taking back the House and the Senate gives Trump another advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump might actually benefit if the Senate and the House flip to Democratic control,\u201d McCloskey writes. \u201cA majority-Democratic Congress could become the scapegoat that Trump\u2019s second term has been missing. Trump will blame any and all shortcomings on Congress\u2019 new Democratic majority.\u201d<\/p>\n

That \u201ccould work in Trump\u2019s favor by turning him back into either a victim of the elite or a protector against the progressive tide,\u201d McCloskey says. \u201cThe president is at his political apex when he reminds the nation of what awaits on the other side: the woke agenda, the socialist agenda or worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

At some point, McCloskey concludes, \u201cwhen the president says he doesn\u2019t care about his party holding onto power, one has to wonder why.\u201d<\/p>\n
