John Fredricks is rejecting predictions that Democrats are positioned to take control of the U.S. Senate, arguing instead that Republicans will expand their majority by two seats in the upcoming midterm elections.

Fredricks said the current Republican advantage gives Democrats a difficult path and accused pollsters and media outlets of overstating Democratic strength.

"Well, here we go. Now the fake pollsters and the fake newsers. Well, they're all saying that the Democrats are going to win the Senate. We've been through this before, over and over and over. Democrats are going to win the Senate, really. Well, first of all, we have a three-seat majority, so we're up 53-47. So they'd have to pick up four seats."

He then laid out his own prediction.

"Let me let me tell you what's going to happen. They're going to lose two seats. We're going to gain two seats. Let me break this down for you."

Fredricks began with Michigan, where he predicted Mike Rogers would defeat Abdul Al-Sied.

"Let's start with Michigan, where all the fake polls have got this guy Abdul Al-Sied, who is a communist without a doubt, who campaigned with Hasan Piker, who hates America, who basically called to defund the police. You're going to tell me that he's going to win and beat Mike Rogers in Michigan? No way."

Fredricks predicted a three-point Rogers victory.

"Rogers wins by three. This thing's not even going to be close. Pick up number one. That's a pickup plus one."

He next moved to New Hampshire, predicting a victory for John Sununu.

"Now let's get to what I think is going to be plus two. John Sununu is going to win New Hampshire. He's ahead there. It even even the fake polls have him ahead. Hey, when the fake polls have you ahead, you're in pretty good shape."

Fredricks argued that Sununu’s opponent had run a weak campaign and said energy policy would hurt Democrats in the state.

"Sununu is going to win that race. His opponent is running a horrible campaign. All kinds of problems. All kinds of scandals. Plus, well, they tried to cut off the pipeline, and of course, now New Hampshire residents are paying through the nose for their heating bill."

He then predicted a Republican upset in Minnesota behind Michelle Tafoya.

"Let me give you pickup number three. Minnesota shocker. Michelle Tafoya is going to win this race over Peggy Flanagan, who is the fraud queen of all time in Minnesota. She's a terrible candidate. She's a communist. She did nothing. They have ripped off taxpayers there in Minnesota blind. And Tafoya is an outstanding candidate. She's raising the money. Tafoya is going to win. That's three."

Fredricks acknowledged that Republicans could lose North Carolina.

"Likely, we're going to lose North Carolina. That's going to be minus one. Whatley's campaign is struggling a little bit. You know, he could close at the end, but that's a likely pick up former Governor Cooper. Very popular there. Likely to win that."

He said Georgia would likely remain in Democratic hands but argued that Republicans would still emerge with a net gain.

Fredricks also dismissed Democratic hopes in Maine, where he predicted Sen. Susan Collins would hold her seat.

"Now let's go to Maine, where they think they're going to win with this guy Troy Jackson, another communist whack job, worse than the other guy that they kicked off the ballot."

He added, "Susan Collins, great campaigner, great lady. She's got a great constituent service. Everybody loves her in Maine. Collins is going to win that race handily."

Fredricks was similarly dismissive of Democratic chances in Ohio.

"Now they say, well, wait a minute, we're going to pick up Ohio. Really, Trump won Ohio by 13 points. John Husted. Oh, who are they gonna vote for? Sherrod Brown. Didn't they just kick him out? I mean, give me a break here, folks."

He predicted Husted would win and then turned to Texas, where he said Ken Paxton would defeat Talarico.

"Paxton is going to win that race handily. So where exactly are these seats that the Democrats are going to pick up?"

Fredricks also rejected Democratic prospects in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Florida, arguing that none would produce the gains needed for a Senate takeover.

"Look, all of these seats that they say they're going to win, they're not going to win anything."

He finished by reiterating his prediction that Republicans will move from a three-seat majority to a five-seat majority.

"Republicans are going to pick up two seats in the Senate. That's two seats. I gave you the breakdown, so they're going to go from a three-seat majority to five. This is the reality of what's happening."

Fredricks argued that Democrats and the media had momentum earlier in the year but said Republicans were now gaining ground as Election Day approached.

"The Democrats have been fooling you for months. Look, they won the summer. They spent all their money in the summer. They got the fake polls. They got the fake news. They got the media behind them. They won the summer. We're winning the fall. We're winning October, and October is what matters."

He closed by urging Republicans to vote early.

"Early voting has started. Republican early voters are turning out now in record numbers. Hey, vote early! Don't wait. Get it back. Get it in early. Vote. Win. We win the midterms. This thing's over. Plus two in the Senate. My prediction."

Republicans Are About to Expand Their Senate Majority — Here’s the State-by-State Breakdown

The media and polls keep claiming Democrats will take the Senate, but the numbers just don’t add up. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority and are likely to pick up Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota while losing North Carolina, for a net gain of two seats. — John Fredericks (@jfradioshow) October 14, 2026
