Title: "Capitol Attack Hearings, Trump's 2024 Role, and GOP's Midterm Preparations"

This is your RNC News podcast.

House Republicans, led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, held the first public hearing this week for their new subcommittee reinvestigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The session focused on the unsolved pipe bombs found outside RNC and DNC headquarters that day, criticizing the FBI's handling under the prior administration while noting progress under current Director Kash Patel, including a recent arrest. Lawmakers aired claims about undercover agents and National Guard delays, though fact-checks from NPR highlight inaccuracies, such as misstating the timeline and FBI involvement on the date when Trump was still president.

Shifting to midterm preparations, RNC Chair Joe Gruters declared President Trump the party's secret weapon to buck historical losses and protect GOP majorities in the 2026 House elections. Fox News reports Gruters' singular focus on leveraging Trump's influence amid redistricting battles, like Texas's blocked Republican-favoring maps and Florida's ongoing efforts under Gov. Ron DeSantis. Retirements are piling up, including Arizona's David Schweikert and Andy Biggs eyeing governor runs, and Alabama's Barry Moore for Senate.

A fresh Wall Street Journal poll spells caution for Republicans: voter dissatisfaction with economic handling has eroded their edge over Democrats from 12 to six points, with many blaming Trump for losing focus on middle-class issues amid foreign distractions. Generic ballot tests now favor Democrats by four points for House and Senate races. Meanwhile, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the RNC's bid to revive its lawsuit against Google for allegedly filtering 2022 fundraising emails into spam folders.

RNC ballot propositions for 2026 primaries are gearing up as opinion polls on key issues. These developments underscore Republicans' push to rewrite Jan. 6 narratives, fortify electoral maps, and rally around Trump despite economic headwinds.
