独家报道—— 尽管面临艰难的政治环境，共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯仍对共和党能成功守住今年中期选举中微弱的参议院和众议院多数席位持乐观态度。
“我认为我们正步入正轨。我仍然认为我们有机会打破历史规律，赢得中期选举，”格鲁特斯本周在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时说道。
作为当前执政党，共和党本就面临着导致国会席位流失的传统政治逆风。再加上持续的通胀、与伊朗的不受欢迎战争（民调显示）推高的汽油价格，以及唐纳德·特朗普总统低迷的支持率。
“我知道外界一片悲观论调，但我们拥有共和党历史上从未有过的最佳信使——特朗普总统。”
共和党面临着投票意愿低迷的问题：当特朗普的名字不在选票上时，MAGA选民往往不会前往投票站。

这位长期以来的特朗普盟友、去年夏天由总统任命掌舵全国共和党委员会的格鲁特斯主席表示，特朗普今年晚些时候将“走遍全国”，并补充道：“我认为他正在团结民众。我认为他能够一次又一次地动员这些投票意愿较低的选民。”
共和党全国委员会目前在筹款和手头现金方面都远超竞争对手民主党全国委员会（DNC）。
格鲁特斯在接任共和党全国委员会主席一职前是注册会计师（CPA），目前仍担任佛罗里达州参议员，他称赞其所在政党拥有“优质资源”。
“如果我们专注于对我们重要的事情，也就是确保我们拥有资源，确保我们拥有优秀的候选人，追随总统及其信息传递，我认为我们将取得成功，”他预测道。
对通胀的深切担忧助力特朗普和共和党在2024年的投票中取得压倒性胜利，他们重新夺回白宫和参议院，并保住了众议院多数席位。

但民主党表示，他们在2025年11月的选举以及去年和今年迄今为止的特别选举和其他投票对决中的决定性胜利，得益于他们在持续通胀背景下聚焦民生负担能力的精准策略。
最新的福克斯新闻全国民调显示，仅有28%的选民认可特朗普在应对通胀方面的表现，而选民将通胀列为最紧迫的问题。调查还显示，在应对高物价方面，民主党比共和党领先8个百分点。
在重返白宫的第一年，特朗普在被问及政府在负担能力方面的努力时，经常吹嘘汽油价格更低。
但由特朗普下令对伊朗发动袭击导致的汽油价格飙升——全国普通汽油均价略高于每加仑4美元——为民主党提供了充足的政治弹药。
“唐纳德·特朗普发动了一场无人想要的战争，现在美国民众正在付出代价。汽油价格飙升，本就因特朗普的经济政策而举步维艰的家庭，在为这场战争买单的同时，不得不进一步压缩预算，”民主党全国委员会主席肯·马丁在一份声明中说道。
马丁指责特朗普“让所有人都承担了更高的成本，且看不到任何缓解迹象。美国人实际上已经负担不起特朗普的总统任期了。”

但格鲁特斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“这场冲突是暂时的。我认为总统清楚自己在做什么……我认为到11月时，我们将步入正轨。”
得益于选举胜利和出色表现，民主党士气高涨。
“几乎每周，我们都能看到红色选区转向蓝色，在各个层级的选举中取得历史性的、改变游戏规则的胜利，”马丁强调。“我们占据了势头，但我们绝不掉以轻心。民主党人在11月前将全力以赴，因为是时候让共和党卷铺盖走人了。”

格鲁特斯并不认同民主党的说辞。
“这些特别选举之所以特殊是有原因的，”他说。“民主党人之所以有动力，是因为愤怒，每当总统做出一件好事，他们就会更加愤怒。”
这位共和党全国委员会主席预测“到中期选举时，我认为我们将全面步入正轨。我们拥有优秀的候选人，掌握了正确的信息传递，我认为我们将取得成功。”

EXCLUSIVE — Despite facing a rough political environment, Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters remains optimistic the GOP will successfully defend its slim Senate and razor-thin House majorities in this year’s midterm elections.
“I think we’re on track. I still think that we have a chance to defy history and win the midterms,” Gruters said this week in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
Republicans — as the party currently in power — were already up against traditional political headwinds that lead to a loss of congressional seats. Add to that the challenging climate fueled by persistent inflation, rising gas prices tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran, and President Donald Trump’s underwater approval ratings.
“I know it’s all doom and gloom out there, but we have the best messenger in President Trump that’s ever existed in the party.”
The GOP is facing a low-propensity problem: MAGA voters who don’t always go to the polls when Trump’s name isn’t on the ballot.
WHAT THE LATEST FOX NEWS NATIONAL POLL SAYS ABOUT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

The RNC chair, a longtime Trump ally who the president picked last summer to steer the national party committee, said Trump will be “barnstorming the country” later this year, adding, “I think what he’s doing is rallying people. I think he could deliver these low propensity voters over and over again.”
The RNC currently holds a massive fundraising and cash-on-hand advantage over the rival Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Gruters, who was a certified public accountant (CPA) before taking over the RNC and who still serves as a Florida state senator, touted his party’s “superior resources.”
“If we focus on what’s important to us, and that’s the making sure we have the resources, making sure we have good candidates, following the president and his messaging, I think we will be successful,” he predicted.
Deep concerns over inflation boosted Trump and Republicans to sweeping victories at the ballot box in 2024, as they won back the White House and Senate and kept their House majority.

But Democrats say their decisive victories in November’s 2025 elections, and their overperformances in special elections and other ballot box showdowns last year and, so far this year, were fueled by their laser focus on affordability amid persistent inflation.
The latest Fox News national poll indicates that just 28% of voters give Trump a thumbs up on handling inflation, which voters rank as the most pressing issue. The survey also says Democrats have an eight point advantage over Republicans when it comes to handling high prices.
During his first year back in the White House, Trump regularly touted lower gas prices when asked about his administration’s efforts on affordability.
But the surge in gas prices – the national average for regular is hovering slightly above $4 per gallon – due to the Trump-ordered attacks on Iran, has given the Democrats plenty of political fuel.
“Donald Trump started a war that no one wanted, and now Americans are paying the price. Gas prices are soaring and families who were already struggling in Trump’s economy are forced to stretch their budgets even further while footing the bill for this war,” DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement.
Martin charged that Trump “stuck everybody else with higher costs with no relief in sight. Americans literally can’t afford the Trump presidency.”

But Gruters told Fox News Digital, “This conflict is temporary. I think the President knows exactly what he’s doing…I think by the time we hit November, I think we’re going to be in stride.”
Democrats are energized, thanks to their ballot box victories and overperformances.
“Nearly every week, we’re seeing red districts go blue with historic, game-changing victories up and down the ballot,” Martin emphasized. “We have momentum on our side, but we refuse to take a single day for granted. Democrats are all hands on deck ahead of November, because it’s time to send the Republicans packing.”

Gruters isn’t buying the Democrats’ messaging.
“These special elections are special for a reason,” he said. “The Democrats are motivated because of anger, because every time the president does something good, they get they get angrier.”
And the RNC chair predicted “by the time we hit the midterms, I think we’re going to be in full stride. We have great candidates, we have the right messaging, and I think we’ll be successful.”
