Trump is ducking blame for Republican losses

Trump is ducking blame for Republican losses. It's a familiar pattern for him

After a flurry of rallies where he implored supporters to pretend that he was on the ballot, President Donald Trump led his Republican Party to a stunningly complete wipeout in the midterm elections.

God bless America. - Hillary Clinton

They Went Down Like The Titanic

Democrats are riding their sweep of Congress into a new era, eager to meet voter demands for change with plans to tackle high costs of living and confront President Donald Trump’s final years in the White House.

In a nationwide romp, Democrats ousted Republicans from coast to coast, with many surprising places in between, as voters rejected the president’s party for the promise of something different for the country. Their majorities will be padded by wide margins in both the House and the Senate.

Payback's A B*tch, Isn't It, JD?

Michigan Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D) taunted President Trump and Vice President Vance in his victory speech early Wednesday after the two Republicans spent months attacking him on the campaign trail.

El-Sayed, who defeated Trump-backed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s closely watched Senate race, joked about the prospect of Vance swearing him in to office in January, calling it a moment of “delicious irony” after Vance’s public personal jabs.

Wow. I really thought yesterday’s Trump press conference about the reflecting pool was going to turn things around. - Linwood Barclay

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) told reporters that if he was elected to the upper chamber, he wanted to pass an act related to 2026’s cyclospora outbreak: The S‑‑‑ Lettuce Elimination Act.

“For a long time here in Michigan, right, over the summer, there were a lot of people who ate lettuce and then had, you know, they ate the s‑‑‑ lettuce. And we shouldn’t have s‑‑‑ lettuce in the United States of America,” he said Sunday.

The act is an ongoing joke from the Democrat who previously mentioned it during a campaign event in September but is related to his campaign’s public health priorities.
