• President Donald Trump and the Republican Party suffered a catastrophic defeat in the midterm elections. Democrats handily took control of both chambers of Congress and won victories in deep-red states. Republicans lost not only in Maine and Michigan, which are tough even in good years for the GOP, but also in Kansas, South Carolina, and Texas: states that Trump won by 16, 18, and 24 points, respectively, just two years ago. After eleven years of Trump’s dominating the political conversation, public exhaustion has set in. Trump’s approval was at just 38 percent among the electorate that voted in the midterms, according to the Fox News voter poll. That poll also found that just 16 percent voted in part to express support for Trump, while 43 percent said that they voted to express opposition. Democrats won a sufficiently sizable majority to block the president’s judicial nominees for the next two years. If they are able to build on this in 2028 by establishing unified control of Washington, they will have free rein to implement a radical agenda. The next presidential race will soon begin, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
