Make no mistake. The stunning outcomes in Tuesday's midterm elections were a short, sharp repudiation of the former president.
It was left to Trump’s loyal man-servant, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, to acknowledge the unhappy reality to NBC News: “ definitely not a Republican wave, that’s for darn sure. Hats off to the Democrats.”— In the House of Representatives, where Trump loyalist Kevin McCarthy had been predicting a big GOP majority and absolute control, the Trump party will gain — best case — 15 seats. That’s a huge failure, by every standard.
— In the Senate, too, cocky GOP types had been predicting total control. But, so far, that just hasn’t happened. The Republicans lost a seat they held, Pennsylvania, to a bald guy who wore hoodies and had suffered a speech-impairing stroke mid-campaign. And in Georgia, the outcome still isn’t known — but there, a football star and Trump favourite, Herschel Walker, remains behind his Democrat opponent.
— Republican hopes were dashed everywhere. While they now dominate Florida — more on that in a minute — GOP claims to capture the monolithic Hispanic vote didn’t materialize. Fantasies about expanding their base in House races, from Maine to Arizona, didn’t happen either. And Democrats prevailed in Senate races Republicans had been counting on, in New Hampshire, Washington and Colorado. New York, too: Despite untold millions spent to prop up the Republican champion, a Democrat remains governor.
— Most ominously for Trump, his likely opponent for the Republican presidential nomination, Florida’s Ron DeSantis, swept his state, turning it into a Republican stronghold for the first time in generations. DeSantis did that not just despite Trump’s attacks on him in recent days — he arguably did that because of those attacks. After Tuesday night, DeSantis is the strongest Republican politician on the national stage. Not Trump.
Trump was the loser on Tuesday night. But what of the man who beat him in 2020 for the Oval Office? Biden, won, as well. Despite inflation, despite the price of a gallon of gas or a loaf of bread, despite a Democratic Party that has moved too far to the left, Biden did not suffer the humiliating defeat that many were predicting.— Warren Kinsella volunteers for Democratic Party campaigns
