Trump's Spectacular Fiasco: Does Republican Defeat Threaten MAGA's Final Split? Analysts and experts of all kinds will understand for a long time the reasons for the defeat of the Republican Party in the mid-term elections for the US Congress, citing in their assessments objective and subjective factors, as well as historical patterns (the party that is not in power usually strengthens its position in the mid-term elections). And although there was no sensation - the trend was clear - almost no one expected the defeat to be complete. It seems that the Democrats themselves did not expect such success, because the popularity of their party remains extremely low, as evidenced by polls. Most observers agree that protest sentiment played a key role. The population of the country voted not so much for the Democrats but against Trump's policies, of which they were frankly fed up during the two years that the billionaire was in power in his second and last term. The elections turned into a referendum on confidence in the head of state. We will remind you that following the election results, the Democratic Party candidates gain control of the House of Representatives and the Congressional Senate. Trump said he was surprised by the weak results of the Republican Party and is ready to interact with Democrats, but intends to actively use his veto power. For a sad reason the British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported on the atmosphere that prevailed in the White House during the counting of votes. "The situation is depressing," one of the administration's senior officials told the publication. When the scale of the Republican defeat became clear, Trump was literally "furious" and "numb with rage." "He watches Fox News, barely says a word, and is paralyzed by silence," the publication's source said. According to him, on the night the votes were counted, Trump supporters began to leave a party held in the East Room of the White House.
