Federal Election Commission (FEC) records expose a renewed Democrat effort to retake control of the U.S. Senate in the 2026 midterms, backed by substantial legal and financial firepower. The Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has funneled nearly $700,000 to the Elias Law Group, led by influential Democrat attorney Marc Elias—for legal services tied to campaign operations.
Soros Backs Ossoff in Georgia While NRSC Alienates MAGA Base with Tillis Support
At the same time, Democrat mega-donor Alex Soros is concentrating his 2025 donations on Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, underscoring Georgia’s status as a battleground in the party’s Senate takeover strategy. In contrast, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), chaired by South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, is directing fundraising support toward North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis—a decision that has drawn criticism from MAGA Republicans due to Tillis’s prior opposition to Trump’s US Attorney nominee Ed Martin, along with Tillis’s long history as a Trump hater.
DSCC Bankrolls Elias as Legal Strategy Targets Trump, 2026 Senate Map
According to FEC filings, the DSCC has paid $698,847.64 to the Elias Law Group since January 1, 2025, for services listed as “LEGAL SERVICES LEGAL FUND” and other legal work. Marc Elias, the firm’s founder, is no stranger to controversy. Most recently, Elias spent his time after the 2024 Presidential election contesting the defeat of Pennsylvania Democrat Senator Bob Casey. In an April 2024 article titled “What We Must Do Now To Win in 2026,” Elias argued that Democrats have a viable path to retake the Senate—but warned that President Trump could “undermine” the midterms by restricting voting to in-person Election Day ballots, enabling foreign interference, or empowering so-called “election deniers” to block ballot certifications.
Alex Soros Focuses 2025 Donations on Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff
Democrat donors appear to be aligning with the Marc Elias strategy to retake the Senate. In 2025, prominent Democrat financier Alex Soros has directed his support exclusively to Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff. Ossoff’s campaign website brands him as “MAGA’s number one target in 2026,” signaling his key role in the party’s midterm defense strategy.
Georgia and Michigan Races Pose Major Risks for Democrats in 2026 Senate Battle
In the 2026 Senate elections, Democrats are defending 13 seats—including two in states carried by Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election: Georgia and Michigan. Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff faces a tough re-election battle. His anti-Trump messaging has failed to resonate, and his occasional willingness to work with President Trump has left him politically stranded—drawing criticism from both the left and the right. This centrist positioning may weaken his base and open the door for a strong Republican challenger.
Democrats breathed a sigh of relief when Georgia Governor Brian Kemp confirmed he would not enter the Senate race in Georgia in 2026. But, trouble looms elsewhere: in Michigan, Senator Gary Peters is retiring, forcing Democrats to defend an open seat in a state that flipped red in 2024.
Democrats Target GOP Seats in Ohio, Iowa, Maine, and North Carolina
To retake the Senate, Democrats must hold vulnerable seats in Trump-leaning states while flipping at least four Republican-held seats.Their most plausible targets include Ohio, Iowa, and Maine—a difficult but not impossible task given the 2026 Senate map. Additionally, Democrats are making concerted efforts to flip the vulnerable North Carolina Senate seat in 2026, recognizing its significance in the broader strategy to regain Senate control.
NRSC Backing of Thom Tillis Raises Red Flags for MAGA Base
North Carolina is considered a key battleground state. Senator Thom Tillis is viewed as one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the 2026 cycle, facing potential challenges from both Democrats, and within his own party from more MAGA Republicans. It’s deeply concerning that the NRSC is responding to the Senate Democrats’ 2026 strategy by throwing fundraising support behind North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis. Tillis notably worked to block President Trump’s nominee, Ed Martin, for U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C.—a move that aligned him with Democrats and raised serious questions about his loyalty to the America First agenda.
Democrats Plot Impeachment 2.0 with House and Senate Takeover Strategy
The DSCC is making strategic, targeted moves while the NRSC appears asleep at the wheel. This should set off alarm bells for Senate Majority Leader John Thune and President Trump, as control of the Senate determines the fate of judicial appointments and top administration nominees—including future Supreme Court justices. If Republicans lose the Senate in 2026, it could severely undermine President Trump’s second-term agenda and hand Democrats a powerful check on his ability to govern.
Worse, Democrat operatives are signaling plans to escalate their lawfare strategy—by retaking the House to file new articles of impeachment, then using a potential Senate majority to remove President Trump from office. It’s a strategy they failed to pull off during his first term, but one they are openly determined to complete in his second.
Marc Elias Resurfaces as Central Figure in Democrat Lawfare Agenda
It’s clear Democrats never stopped their lawfare campaign against President Trump. DSCC payments to Marc Elias, a central architect of the left’s legal warfare machine, make that strategy explicit. As Democrats gear up for 2026, Elias isn’t just preparing for election battles—he’s laying the legal groundwork to obstruct, undermine, and ultimately remove President Trump by any means necessary.
