Democrats Pull Off a Historic Midterm Rout and Trump Is Not Loving It

Original version ·

The political map just turned a very bright shade of blue, and even Donald Trump can't quite figure out how it happened.

In a move that caught pretty much everyone off guard, Democrats managed to snatch control of both houses of Congress. We are talking about flipping seats in places like Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina—states that usually don't even blink when the blue team comes knocking. The scale of this shift is honestly wild, with a major majority locked in for the Senate and the House.

Donald Trump conceded the defeat, though he spent a good chunk of his time blaming the ongoing war in Iran and insisting he could have won it if his name had been on the ticket. Meanwhile, his own VP, JD Vance, decided to stop playing nice and publicly called him out for the disaster. Hakeem Jeffries is already talking about ending the era of the House being a total Trump fan club.

It is fascinating to watch Trump talk about how he will just veto everything the Democrats send his way until they eventually cave and play ball. The honeymoon phase is definitely over.
