Some Republican lawmakers are predicting that Donald Trump’s ability to influence the party will end if the midterms turn out to be as disastrous as polls have predicted.

Politico interviewed 15 Republican lawmakers from the House and Senate, most of whom agreed that Trump would lose his sway over Republicans if the party loses control of one or both chambers of Congress after midterm elections.

“It’s not like his persuasion is growing. Political capital is earned and lost the same way,” a Republican senator said.

Another Republican lawmaker flatly declared, “He’s in trouble.”

The senator added that Republicans on the campaign trail are already distancing themselves from Trump due to his growing unpopularity and on issues like his handling of the Iran war and the affordability crisis. The senator said to expect more Republicans to break with Trump if the midterms are a disaster for the GOP.

On the House side, one Republican predicted “an interesting dynamic after Election Day,” telling Politico: “No one expects Trump to take any blame after the election. So if he doesn’t, who does?”

Another Republican seems to have already accepted that his party will lose control of the lower chamber and Trump’s influence will be determined by the margin of defeat.

If Democrats win only a small majority in that chamber, Trump will “still carry a lot of sway,” the lawmaker said. But a “shellacking” will have Trump “looking for our help more than we’d be looking for his.”

“If it’s truly a big blue wave, every committee will investigate the hell out of [Trump] the next two years, and R’s will quickly start looking at [2028] and beyond,” another House Republican told Politico.

However, there are sme Republicans who believe Trump will continue to influence the party even with a defeat on Tuesday.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said, “The president of the United States certainly has influence. I think he’ll continue to have influence.”

Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) said, “[Trump] still has the bully pulpit, and I say that in a good way.”
