This Week On Capitol Hill: The 2026 Election Has Begun

Posted • December 14, 2025: U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) joins us to assure listeners he’ll campaign just as hard to retain the Republican majority in the ’26 Midterms. Thursday’s rejection of a Congressional redistricting plan advocated by President DONALD J. TRUMP shocked many political observers…but Indiana Lt. Governor MICAH BECKWITH (pictured) unpacks the vote, saying “We are a Red state, but we don’t have a Red Senate” and says many GOP lawmakers are closer to Mitt Romney than Donald Trump philosophically. Congressman DARIN LaHOOD (R-IL)updates us on dangers involving both Ukraine and China; Daily Signal WH correspondent ELIZABETH MITCHELL previews the week ahead in D.C.; and Tony’s commentary urges listeners to text ACA to 67742 to join a petition stripping abortion funding from any ObamaCare revisions. All that and more on ‘This Week On Capitol Hill.’
