butlers Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 From.the BBC This is a remarkable achievement by Joe Biden’s party, not only given his low approval rating but also the fact that inflation in this country is currently at a more than 40-year high. Projections suggest that Catherine Cortez Masto – who six years ago became the first Latina to be elected to the US Senate – has defeated the Donald Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Adam Laxalt in the tightly-fought seat of Nevada, to retain her party’s slender majority in the upper house. Even more remarkable, it appears, is the Democrats' performance in elections to the House of Representatives. Republicans still appear on course to gain the majority there – albeit by a considerably reduced margin than many had previously predicted. Given that midterm elections in America traditionally favour the party in opposition, this amounts to the best performance of its kind in 20 years – since George W Bush’s Republican party achieved gains in both chambers of Congress back in 2002.

butlers Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 For the first time in almost 90 years, covering dozens of election cycles, the party in the White House retained every state legislative chamber it was defending, and this year gained two more.

RJRB Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It will be interesting to see if Trump goes ahead with his big announcement as promised ,or will he wait for a less turbulent time in the GOP. He is turning on fellow Republicans and some are blaming him for the unexpected poor mid term results. Perhaps some who were carried along on the Trump wave now see him as more of a liability.

Clearly that penny has not dropped, what a huge surprise. Trump is done... it's over. He does not command enough support to now win the Presidency, his plan to knobble the election process is a bust. 1 hour ago, trastrick said: The Republicans are still around, they actually won the popular vote in this latest mid tern elections for the House.
