One Republican congressman confessed to a Fox News reporter that he's concerned the House GOP budget bill could kill them in the 2026 midterm elections.

Speaking to Fox Business on Thursday, Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) said that the legislation they're referring to as the "big, beautiful bill," in its current form, will harm GOP members in swing districts.

"The Senate has made some revisions. I think this is gonna end up in conference in some form, whether it's through leadership or a true conference, which we haven't had in a long time," said Alford, according to senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram.

"I know there's some big concerns with the SALT cap," he explained of the cap on "state and local taxes" in the bill. "Michael Lawler, a good friend of mine — I want to see our colleagues from New York come back. We need to retain the majority in the U.S. House. If we don't do that, on January 3rd of 2027, Hakeem Jeffries will be Speaker of the House, and it will mean impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. We've got to retain the majority."

1. Be afraid asshole

You ALL need to face consequences.

[littlemissmartypants]

2. And they'll deserve every last one of those consequences!!

4. A spot on

The floor at El Salvador. With a used plastic space blanket.
The whole damn GQP needs to stay in office to stay out of prison.
So we need to know the depth they will go to avoid prison, just like their God Cult Leader. Supported by the supremacy court.
Do not expect anything near fair elections.

[littlemissmartypants]

5. Elections have been f'd for a while. We're fighting for our lives at this point. ❤️

[Chemical Bill]

17. Seriously

They control the machines. We'll be wondering why we didn't reach working white men....

[Hotler]

20. Does Leader Jefferies and team D have the gumption to bring consquences? Have they gotten

gentlemanly politics and worrying about the other sides feelings out of their playbook?

[Traildogbob]

21. I do feel you

My expectations shrink every damn day. Very close to tired of giving a fuck. Every tiny little win is struck down by billionaire courts. Or out right lawlessness.
Wasted 12 years of retirement worrying about what that asshole will do to destroy me.
A cocktail of multiple Diseases wiping out stupid may be our only hope.
When I see Kimmel, or Klepper on the streets asking simple questions any one should know, the stupid is like projectile vomit coming out of their pie hole. I know, a small Percentage of us, but they vote and have control, no, actually Fox and their spawn have control. And cash. And election theft will keep us this way.
The Supremacy Court living the high life, kicking us in the face.
McConnell is responsible for so much of this. And the Murdocks.
To damn dumb to be species. And education is a WOKE concept, getting burned to the ground.
Way too depressing to look ahead trying to see a light, the batteries are dead and the bulb is crushed.

3. Sounds good to me!

Hopefully this does happen...and what goes around...will come around really hard!!

[generalbetrayus]

6. " it will mean impeachment, impeachment, impeachment."

Even if OJC is impeached in the House, he will never be convicted in the Senate, but I can still fantasize this result, eh?

[UpInArms]

7. "will harm GOP members"

Fuk the fuk off, asshole …

It WILL HARM PEOPLE, not your freaking greedy old pig party …

[Jilly_in_VA]

8. He's gonna be Speaker anyway

and you, my good moron, may just be out of a job!

[azureblue]

9. heaven forbid

the speaker should be competent, non partisan, and a representative of the american people.

[LisaM]

10. Interesting take.

I'm afraid he won't be Speaker after the 2026 elections.

[OrlandoDem2]

11. Democrats need to amplify this.

[MissouriDem47]

12. Jeffries becoming the new Speaker of the House

That's already a done deal. This Republican Rep Alford just hasn't accepted it yet.

[patphil]

13. If the 2026 election is open, honest, and fair, passage of this bill will result in huge gains in Congress for the Dems.

Both houses will go to the Democrats. We need a +4 in the Senate, with 22 Republican seats up for election, and a +6 in the House. I expect we'll get a couple more than needed in the Senate, and at least a dozen more than needed in the House.
Note:there are 3 vacancies in the House right now; all Dems, and I'm not counting them as being held by the Democrats until they actually are.

14. Won't matter

I don't think we will have a honest fair election in 2026

[MarcoZandrini]

15. When we....

….democrats with the house, and hopefully the senate, we need to a) expose these magats for the damage they’ve done, and b) impeach Pam Bondi, Pete Kegsbreath and others.

Fukkkem!

[Rebl2]

16. You would

be right Mr. Alford former Fox News anchor in Kansas City, Mo. Can’t wait for it to happen.

[LymphocyteLover]

18. Dems better damn well take back the House in in the midterms at least!!! After all this fucking destruction!!!

JFC, Republicans are the fucking worst.

[raccoon]

19. Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

[FakeNoose]

22. It seems that their greatest fear is a black man with political power

... while their 2nd greatest fear is a black woman with any kind of power.
