The news article quoted the political scientist in a story exploring whether the MAGA movement’s priority heading into the 2026 elections is maintaining its majority in the House or winning governorships. Neiheisel explained that, given limited resources and low expectations for Republicans to hold the House, it makes strategic sense for Trump allies to focus on governor’s races. He added that controlling states could both strengthen the movement long-term and serve as a training ground for future presidential hopefuls, though replicating Trump’s unique appeal will remain a challenge.
