Speaking on Fox News's Hannity, Concha emphasized the pivotal role the economy will play in the upcoming elections. "At this point, 2026 is all about how the economy will perform," he stated. He further criticized the Democrats' current approach, noting, "Democrats can’t just say ‘Donald Trump bad, resist him, save democracy.’ They’re going to need a plan."
As reported by The Washington Examiner, Concha's comments followed a speech by President Trump in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, part of his ongoing affordability tour. During this address, Trump attributed the nation's economic difficulties to former President Joe Biden and cautioned about the potential for another government shutdown, linked to the extension of the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credit.

Concha reiterated the necessity for Democrats to devise a robust economic strategy, warning, "If Donald Trump is delivering on his plan in terms of the economy, they’re going to have a big big problem in November of 2026."

Concha also delved into Trump's economic policies, particularly highlighting the significance of tariffs. He described these tariffs as the "biggest bet" of Trump's career. When Trump first introduced his reciprocal tariffs, many critics predicted dire economic consequences, including a recession and a stock market downturn.

However, Concha pointed out the current economic indicators, noting, "Instead, now, what do we see today for example, the stock market is above 48,000 heading towards 50,000." This suggests that the tariff strategy did not negatively impact the economy as anticipated by many.
Furthermore, Concha underscored the achievements of the Trump administration, both domestically and internationally, suggesting that these accomplishments will be central to the narrative leading up to the 2026 midterms. "Now that’s what 2026 is about," he asserted. "Selling what happened in 2025 and what’s going to happen in 2026."
This perspective aligns with a conservative viewpoint that emphasizes the importance of economic performance and policy achievements in shaping electoral outcomes.
