The majority of Democrats in the Senate is now tied. For his Republicans, ex-President Donald Trump is primarily responsible for the poor performance in the midterm elections.
With the victory in Nevada, it is certain: the Democrats will retain a razor-thin majority in the Senate in the midterm elections. The Democrats have at least 50 of the 100 seats in the Senate – in Georgia there is a second round – but in stalemates, Vice President Kamala Harris has the casting vote.
Republicans are sobered by the fact that the “red wave” has died down. And there are more and more voices pointing to a clear culprit: the former US president, Donald Trump. There are signs that the party elite is slowly turning its back on him.
Is Fox News Dumping Trump?
Rupert Murdoch’s powerful media empire, which includes Fox News, which formerly belonged to Trump, blamed Joe Biden’s predecessor for the dismal result for the Republicans. He has often pulled strings behind the scenes, supporting candidates who spread his lie about the “stolen 2020 presidential election.”
Former Trump supporters such as Chris Christie, former Republican governor of New Jersey, have publicly opposed him. But even the party base is no longer behind Trump: the far-right arms organization American Firearms Association published a survey of members. They oppose Trump and support Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida, as the Republican presidential candidate for 2024.
