āļøAM: EXTINCTION-LEVEL EVENT FOR HILL GOPView quoted post on X
This isnāt a blue wave or even a tsunami. Tuesday nightās midterm election was an extinction-level event for President Donald Trumpās party on Capitol Hill.
A diminished, lame-duck Trump now has to govern with a Democratic House and Senate for the last two years of his presidency. The 80-year-old Trump will face a rejuvenated Democratic Party that won gigantic majorities by running a nationwide referendum on a president and GOP leadership they see as economically inept, legislatively incompetent and morally bankrupt.
PLUS
- Democrats barrel through the red wall
- Can any House Republican leader win re-election? No one is safe. Can't imagine Johnson can make a case. Will be difficult for Scalise. Could we see an entirely new leadership with a 75-seat Dem majority?
- Schumer's big moment -- and Thune's plans. Will we get a lame-duck SCOTUS fight, given Rs are facing an uncertain Senate landscape for years to come.
- An rundown on the legislative risk for energy, defense, health care, tech, financial services, crypto, approps.
- Republicans' gerrymander completely fails. They lost every redrawn seat in America.
