Chuck Schumer Will Throw A Tantrum — His Hopes About Trump Fell Apart

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]The entire left and Democrat elites like Chuck Schumer keep hoping that Trump's support inside the Republican Party collapses. Yet, time after time it's proven that it's not going to happen. And you can look at the latest numbers and the election results from Indiana to prove the opposite is happening. If you want to see real polling data that has the Democrats panicking before midterms, well, smash that subscribe button right now because we're exposing every shift the media tries to downplay here on Resist the Mainstream. My name is Chris and I'm coming to you live from Nashville, Tennessee and the Democrats have spent years hoping that Donald Trump's grip on the Republican Party would slip. They keep waiting for the base to turn on them so that way they can flip the Senate and the House. Yet, time after time after time in the latest polling data and election results, we see the opposite to be true. Now, Indiana in the redistricting wars was the perfect example. Donald Trump wanted Indiana to redistrict. The state senators in Indiana said, "We're not doing that."

[00:00:59]Well, the voters spoke loud and clear and six out of eight of the opponents that Donald Trump endorsed won their primary elections. So, the senators that wanted to sit on their hand in that state, well, they're out. You got to find some new work. I heard Wendy's is hiring. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Trump's approval among Republicans is the same or even higher than it has been in past midterm cycles and most GOP voters say party leaders should follow President Trump's lead and they're right. And when Republican lawmakers cross him, well, the voters send them packing. And again, Indiana was the perfect example. This wasn't the revenge of President Trump, which is how the media has been trying to paint it. What we saw here was the revenge of the people. You see, we're exhausted with Republicans who don't know how to fight. We need some Republicans who got that dog in them and the ones in Indiana just didn't. Now, Mike Pence was pulling the strings behind the scenes, so I think that says all you need to know about those state senators in Indiana. Harry Enten on CNN, he laid the numbers out plain. Trump's approval with the GOP base remains extremely strong. And the voters in Indiana made it perfectly clear. We want fighters, not compromisers. It's that simple. The left loves to frame these primary wins as Donald Trump's revenge, but that's totally wrong.

[00:02:19]It's the people's revenge. And we are so mad at the weakness and ineffectiveness of the Republican Party. And voters in Indiana, they made that loud and clear during their primary. The base is done with weak Republicans. And and we're done with weak Republicans across the board. Imagine if we brought this same energy that we saw in Indiana to Republican senators who refused to nuke the filibuster, who refused to fight on the border, who refused to deliver on other promises they made. Imagine if we brought this same energy to every single rhino that drags their feet. Chuck Schumer's hope for a Democrat wave in 2026 just took another massive hit. When you add this in to the plus 14 seats we could be gaining in the redistricting wars, it's looking worse and worse for the Democrats. Do you think though that this energy will carry Republicans to big wins in November of 2026? Let us know what you think in the comments below. We read every single one. Here's Harry Enten breaking down Trump's strong approval ratings with Republicans and what it means for the midterms. Check this out. As Indiana goes, so goes the nation when it comes to Republican voters and Donald John Trump. He absolutely still has the juice. And when you're a Republican and you go against Trump, you get voted off the island. I always love Survivor. And in this particular case, what we saw in Indiana was, you go, "Adios, amigos. Goodbye.

[00:03:44]See you later." And to me that is emblematic of what we see nationwide with Republicans. I think there's this myth that's going on right now that oh, Trump is really losing support among Republicans. But compared to other midterm cycles, he's just as popular with Republicans as he has ever been at this point in midterm cycles. Right now nationally, we're talking about an approval rating on average of 84%. In 2022, his popularity rating was 76%.

[00:04:07]Actually lower, right, when he wasn't in the presidency. In 2018, the last time he was president, 85%. That 85 looks a whole heck of a lot like this 84% right here. The bottom line is this, Donald Trump still absolutely has juice with Republican voters. You saw it in Indiana, and I think that you'll see it down the line as well if any Republicans try and go against the President of the United States who is still very much beloved by Republican voters nationwide.

[00:04:32]And Harry, you're also looking at turnout. What are you seeing in turnout?

[00:04:35]Why why is this significant to this conversation?

[00:04:38]>> Yeah, okay. Why is it significant?

[00:04:39]Because we know that within the Republican Party, Trump has that extra strong core, that MAGA base, right?

[00:04:45]We're talking about approval ratings depending on which poll you look at, 95, 97, 100% with MAGA Republicans. And here's the thing, they are incredibly juiced up compared to other Republicans.

[00:04:56]Cuz let's take a look here. Republicans who say it's more important to vote in 2026 than the usual midterm election.

[00:05:02]Look at this, 60% 60% of MAGA-identifying Republicans say that compared to just 36% of non-MAGA. So what's going on in these primaries, right? It's not just that you have this core Republican base that really loves Donald Trump. The people who really love him, they're the ones who are absolutely juiced up to go and vote. They would go over hot coals to vote in those primaries, and you saw that in Indiana with a clear majority of those representatives who went against Trump on redistricting, well, they're no longer going to have a job come the next session of that state law.

[00:05:32]>> So then the question is, do Republicans think that party leaders should be following Trump? Or other Republicans should be following him? Yeah, okay. So you see this juiced up MAGA, right? You see right here that his support among Republicans is just as strong as it was going into the 2018 midterm cycle, right? But it's more than that.

[00:05:47]Republican voters want their party leaders to follow the president of the United States because party leaders should follow the presidency. You know, for Joe Biden at the same point in his first term, just 57% of Democrats said that party leaders should follow the Look at this number for Donald Trump.

[00:06:02]It's 75% significantly higher than it was for Joe Biden. So, it's not just that Republicans really like Donald Trump, it's they want their leaders to follow Donald Trump and when they don't, as I said at the beginning, you get voted off the island.
