Pollster Matt Towery said Monday that Republicans face a steep hurdle to hold the House unless they fundamentally change how they turn out voters ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Democrats are aiming to retake control of the House in November’s midterm elections. Towery said on “Kudlow” that Republicans will fall short unless they change how they mobilize voters and drive home one core warning.

“Unless they change the ways they do it, they won’t carry the House unless they do one thing. Because all the polls show the Democrats winning other than one. But there’s one thing they have to harp on, and the president does get this, and that is they’re going to impeach me,” Towery said when host Larry Kudlow asked if Republicans can carry the House.

Towery warned Democrats would use a House majority to investigate Republicans.

“They’re going to try to turn around and investigate Republicans. You’ve got to turn out and vote. And to get those hardcore Trump voters to turn out, they’ve got to be motivated. Impeachment is the way to get them out,” Towery said.

Democrats are aiming to retake control of Congress in November’s midterms, but competitive primaries in key House districts could complicate that effort. In several swing seats, establishment Democrats are facing far-left challengers, raising concerns that nominating left-wing candidates could make it harder for the party to flip Republican-held seats in 2026.

Some Democratic strategists point to Tennessee Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn’s loss as a cautionary tale about running an unapologetic progressive in a Republican-leaning district. While Behn narrowed the margin to single digits in a seat that President Donald Trump carried by 22 points in 2024, critics inside the party argue Democrats might have put the district in play by backing a more centrist nominee aligned with local voters.

“Each time we nominate a far-left candidate in a swing district who declares themselves to be radical and alienates the voters in the middle who deliver majorities, we set back that cause,” Lanae Erickson, senior Vice President for Social Policy, Education & Politics at the liberal think tank Third Way said in a statement following Behn’s loss.
