Donald Trump is becoming a loser
? The term “loser,” which he detests, was mentioned in an editorial of the Wall Street Journal . And in fact, since Sunday 13 November 2022, it’s official: at the end of the mid-terms, the mid-term elections in the United States, the Democrats retain control of the Senate. Enough to infuriate the former Republican president, beaten by Joe Biden in 2020 and who dreams of taking his revenge. Aggressively, he singled out Mitch McConnell, the leader of the Senate Republican group, as responsible for the rout of his camp, who was a staunch ally during his term but distanced himself from the storming of the Capitol.
He ruined the election and everyone despises him
said Donald Trump on his Truth Social, criticizing Mitch McConnell for not investing enough money in the campaign of Blake Masters, the candidate he supported in Arizona.
The defeat of the latter, like that of another of his colts in Nevada, allows the Democrats to maintain 50 seats out of 100 in the Senate, and therefore the upper hand given that Vice President Kamala Harris has, under the Constitution, the power to decide between elected officials.
The Republicans are no longer even certain of having a majority in the House, while the results are still awaited in about twenty constituencies. According to CNN and ABC, Republicans currently have 211 of the 218 seats needed for a majority and Democrats 204 to 206.
Among Republicans, Donald Trump is not the only one who wants to settle the score.
The old party is dead, it’s time to bury it
Senator Josh Hawley, a right-wing figure in the party, tweeted, asking build something new
.
The day before, other relatives of Donald Trump had seemed to want to challenge the leaders of the party in Congress, whose positions will soon be at stake.
“I’m tired of losing”
Among moderates, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, presented as a possible rival to Donald Trump before the 2024 presidential elections, attributes this fiasco to the Republican billionaire.
This is the third consecutive election Donald Trump has us lose
he told CNN on Sunday, the previous two were the 2018 midterm elections and the 2020 presidential election. I’m tired of losing
he said, picking up on some music that has gained traction in the conservative media in recent days.
Donald Trump, 76, however, retains an undeniable popularity in part of the Republican electorate and so far polls have always given him as the winner of a Republican primary.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a triumphant re-elect and new star of the far right, arrives shortly after and could win if the former president’s legal woes disqualify him.
Donald Trump is the subject of several investigations for his role in the attack on the Congress building on January 6, 2021 or for his handling of the White House archives. A candidacy statement on Tuesday, however, would make a potential indictment more delicate.
