US Midterms 2026Background
The Washington Times is a daily newspaper based in Washington, DC, founded in 1982 and generally described as Conservative. In coverage of the 2026 midterms it appears as a source on money and legislation rather than as a subject.
Two of its reports Fed that coverage. In July 2026 it described the $10bn for state election grants in the House Budget Committee's FY2027 reconciliation resolution as money to implement the SAVE Act's proof-of-citizenship and photo-ID rules. In September it linked Defend American Jobs, which put $11.46m into the Ohio Senate contest over seven days ending on 30 September, to Fairshake, and reported Fairshake's pledge to spend $30m against Democrat Sherrod Brown.
Both reports concern how Republican-aligned money and legislation could shape the 2026 vote.
