Democrats must be really worried about their chances in the 2026 midterm elections. How else could anyone explain the insane ranting of Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut on MSNBC this week?
Murphy was speaking to Nicolle Wallace and he was clearly casting doubt about the outcome of the midterms, suggesting that Trump is somehow destroying our democracy. It’s not even clear what he’s talking about, he just sounds unhinged.
He even says Trump is trying to ‘rig’ our democracy. Projection much, senator?
Transcript via Real Clear Politics:
WALLACE: And I guess at some point, if the Democrats take over the majorities in the House and the Senate, it won’t matter. But I wonder if you feel like we have enough time. You look at the grift, you look at the corruption, you look at the pay to play going on.
It’s staggering and it’s all out in the open. It’s almost as if to say, you know, when you’re president, you can do it.
MURPHY: Yeah, I mean, this is the conversation we’re having right now inside the Democratic Party. How urgent is the moment? You know what I believe, Nicole.
I believe that there’s no guarantee that we are going to have a free and fair election in 2026. I think he’s trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the political opposition so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s in the fall of next year, there isn’t the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign. So I think we’ve got to act with tremendous urgency and we have to make the corruption and the destruction of democracy the number one issue.
So we’ve got this crypto regulation bill pending before Congress. The only way we should pass that bill, the only way that we should move that bill forward is if it unwinds Trump’s crypto corruption.
Here’s the video:
Sen. Chris Murphy: “I believe that there’s no guarantee that we are going to have a free and fair election in 2026.”

Murphy doesn’t exactly exude confidence about his party’s chances next year. Also, when did it become acceptable to cast doubt on elections again?
