Republicans might face a big loss in the midterms, according to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who is also a former presidential candidate.Christie shared this view during a recent podcast with comedian Hasan Minjah on the “Hasan Minjah Doesn’t Know” show.He believes the current political situation gives Democrats a strong chance to take control of both the U.S.House of Representatives and the U.S.Senate.
Christie admitted that some Republican voters might not like hearing this.
HASAN MINJAH: Do you think the Republican voters want the truth?
CHRIS CHRISTIE: Well, certainly not all of them right now. Probably not a majority of them right now. But you know what? You you know what forces people to have to listen to the truth? Losing. Losing forces you politically to have to listen to the truth. And I think we’re on our way to a monumental defeat as a party in the 2026 midterms. And when that happens, I think people for practical reasons will begin to re-evaluate whether they really want to continue to hear the things that led to the losing or they want to hear some different ideas, different approach.
MINJAH: Do you really think the Democrats have a chance to win the 2026 midterms in a major way?
CHRISTIE: Oh, I think they’ll win the House. Um, and and frankly, I think they’ve got a better chance at the Senate today than I thought they would have given the map.
