What’s Ahead for Congress

Here are the top takeaways from Nathan Gonzales’ recent AAPC webinar:

Margins Are Everything
With only a couple of votes to spare, every decision and every member counts. For consultants, this means campaigns in swing districts just got even more important. 

Thune Isn’t McConnell
According to Gonzales’ analysis, McConnell had a unique mix of respect, trust, and let’s be honest, a little fear that kept things running smoothly. Thune? Not quite the same dynamic. This could mean more infighting and a bumpier road ahead for Republicans and an opportunity for messaging on both sides.

Eyes on 2026
But the margin for 2024 also matters, looking ahead to 2026 because Republicans may have won enough to insulate themselves from a difficult 2026 midterm. Strengthening a candidate’s position today could save a seat down the line.
