Chris Christie predicts Republicans are headed for a “monumental defeat” in the 2026 midterm elections during an appearance on Hasan Minhaj’s podcast.Failed presidential candidate and longtime Never Trumper Chris Christie is once again running his mouth about the Republican Party’s supposed doom.The disgraced former New Jersey governor made the comments during an appearance on comedian Hasan Minhaj’s podcast Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know.Christie told the host that Republicans are “on our way to a monumental defeat as a party in the 2026 midterms,” and that losing would finally make voters “reevaluate whether they really want to continue to hear the things that led to the losing or they want to hear some different ideas, different approach.”He even claimed Democrats are positioned to win the House and have a “better chance” at taking the Senate than previously thought.Hasan Minhaj: Do you think Republican voters want the truth?Chris Christie: Well, certainly not all of them right now. Probably not a majority of them right now.Chris Christie: But you know what? You know what forces people to have to listen to the truth? Losing. Losing forces you, politically, to have to listen to the truth. And I think we’re on our way to a monumental defeat as a party in the 2026 midterms. And when that happens, I think people, for practical reasons, will begin to reevaluate whether they really want to continue to hear the things that led to the losing, or whether they want to hear some different ideas and a different approach.Hasan Minhaj: Do you really think the Democrats have a chance to win the 2026 midterms in a major way?Chris Christie: Oh, I think they’ll win the House. And frankly, I think they’ve got a better chance at the Senate today than I thought they would have, given the map.WATCH:“Do you think Republican voters want the truth?”REPUBLICAN ex-governor @ChrisChristie: “Probably not a majority of them.
