Dick Morris Forecasts Trump’s Historic Congressional Win, Breaking a Century-Old Pattern

By Jim Thomas | Friday, February 20, 2026

Dick Morris, a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, predicted that Republicans will retain control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.

Speaking on Friday, Morris stated he is “predicting now” that “Trump will win both the House and the Senate and retain control of Congress,” framing his call as a break from what he described as “the 100-year tradition” that the president’s party loses Congress in midterm elections.

“I think Trump is going to win both houses of Congress,” Morris said. “He’s going to increase his majorities.”

“I think everything is breaking that way,” he added.

Morris tied his forecast to economic conditions, stating: “The economy is doing incredibly well. Inflation almost doesn’t exist anymore.” He noted the growth economy is expanding at 4% annually, with White House senior adviser Peter Navarro claiming 5% growth is within reach.

When pressed on why he sees a different outcome than much liberal media coverage and polling, Morris said: “They’re saying that they’re going to win.” At the same time, “they’re doing everything they can to undermine Trump.”

He predicted Trump’s successes would outweigh such efforts: “It’s boiling, trickling to a point where everybody is seeing it.” Morris described the administration as “one of the most successful presidencies in history.”

On public safety, Morris said: “Crime is way down,” adding that it is “not because of enforcement, but because he’s deported the criminals.” He stated: “There are just fewer people here to commit crimes.”

Morris also pointed to the Supreme Court, saying: “The Supreme Court is about to make it illegal to apportion based on race.” According to Morris, this change would make 24 seats in the House and the South vulnerable because “the lines are drawn so that Black Democrats can win.”
