Trump's presidency 'could end soon', says member of his administration

A Republican politician has predicted a possible premature end to Donald Trump's presidency.

The bombshell claim was made on Wednesday (25 Feb) during a live TV interview between Mike Johnson - the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives - and Newsmax.

During the discussion, the upcoming 2026 midterm elections were brought up, which political commentators have also deemed absolutely critical for Trump. The vote will serve as both a referendum on his second term in the Oval Office following his initial stint in 2016, and a decisive factor in his remaining legislative power.

According to right-wing administration official Johnson, 54, a loss of Republican control within the House would effectively tank Trump and his controversial agenda.

"I'm very bullish about the midterms because we have such an extraordinary record to run on," he began, going on to reference the 1 hour and 48 minute State of the Union address Trump, 79, gave yesterday.

For anyone who missed it, the President's speech honed in heavily on a self-declared 'economic turnaround', along with his severe stance on immigration and foreign policy, amid majorly slumping Republican approval ratings.

In spite of the latter reality, Johnson gushed in his recent interview: "The President highlighted a lot of these big wins to the American people tonight. It wasn't a laugh line. He said the people are so tired of winning.

"You know, there is so much, but there's more yet to do, as he said."

Johnson continued: "He needs all four years, not just two, to fix the mess - and that's what we need."

It is understood that 'the mess' referenced by Johnson alludes to the state of American politics left by Trump's Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden.

"If we lost the midterms - heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in real effect," he added.

"So, we've got to keep this going. I think we're excited to put our candidates on the field to explain all this to the people."

Johnson continued: "We've got to keep going, we've got to keep delivering, and we will.

"The President laid out a pretty aggressive agenda tonight, as you heard, and we've got to do it with the smallest margin imaginable. At the moment, I have a one-vote margin - major thin.

"So, we've got to have effective unanimity among the party to deliver our priorities."

The Speaker lastly insisted: "But I tell you what, this is a unified party. We have done it with small margins already and we'll continue to do it.

"We're going to continue working on the things the President highlighted tonight."
