Fox’s Jesse Watters tells Republicans to brace for bad news: ‘You’re gonna lose the House’

The months leading up to the 2026 midterm elections are going to be “insane,” according to Fox News host Jesse Watters, who expressed his doubts about Republicans holding on to power.

During a discussion on political issues, specifically Americans’ frustrations with affordability, Watters remarked to “The Five” panel that Democrats lack “credibility” on domestic issues as they helped usher in the economic catastrophe under former President Joe Biden.

“They have no credibility at all on any domestic policy,” Watters said. “And it’s fresh in everyone’s head. And they’re running on fixing a problem they created, and they won’t tell you how they’re gonna fix it. They don’t have a plan to lower prices.”

“Repeal tariffs,” liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov interjected.

“No one is running on that, Jessica,” Watters pointed out. “Not a single person. You haven’t said it. No one’s talking about revoking the trade deals.”

He elaborated on some of the economic improvements coming soon, while wondering about Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives.

“Next year is gonna be insane. We’re gonna have multiple rate cuts. Housing costs are gonna come down. And incomes are gonna go up because the big, beautiful bill kicks in,” Watters said, referring to the Federal Reserve cutting rates and Treasury bond purchases, as well as President Donald Trump’s endorsed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law in July.

“That means no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security. And that’s when you get all the business tax cuts. Also, that’s when all the foreign investment comes in,” Watters continued.

“And so you’re gonna see these big AI centers sprout up. And next year, they’re projecting next year to be the greatest economic year since the ’80s,” he went on.

“Now, will it be enough to save the Republicans in the midterms?” Watters asked.

“Probably not, but that’s ok. This is a long-term deal. You’re gonna lose the House. You may keep the Senate. I’ll take that,” he said before blaming Democrats for policies that drove up prices and opened the border.

“And what are you gonna do with power? You’re gonna do nothing, or you’re gonna do the same thing you did last time, which is open the border, spend trillions of dollars, and make prices go up again.”

Viewers on social media agreed with some of the points, warning that Republicans need to get their heads out of the sand. Others chided Watters for not having more hope, while the majority of comments excoriated Tarlov and called for her to be removed from the panel.
