The defeat of the Trump party: the Democrats took the House of Representatives, the Senate and seven states from the Republicans - including the traditional strongholds of the "red" Texas and Kansas. Trump admitted defeat to his party and explained that he "wasn't on the ballot." "MO" checked the nightly counting tables: where the Republicans lost decisively, where everything was decided by dozens of votes and what does it matter. We needed four places - we took seven. Before the election, Republicans had 53.
seats out of 100, Democrats and independents have 47; Control requires 51 because in a tie, Republican Vice President J. Dee Vance decides. By the morning of Nov. 4, according to NBC and AP calculations, Democrats will have 54 Senate seats, and Republicans will have 44. Several senatorial candidates from Trump's party lost in states where Trump won by double digits in 2024. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico (pictured right) won 55% to 43.1% of state Attorney General Ken Paxton - the first Democratic senator from Texas since 1988. In 1989, George H. hook. The Texan Bush became president, and it's been a red state ever since. But in this election, the Bush family unexpectedly supported the Democrat due to dissatisfaction with Trump's creation. Now Talarico is called a promising candidate for the presidency of the Democratic Party in the 2028 elections. In Kansas, which Trump won by nearly 16 percentage points two years ago, 61-year-old pastor Adam Hamilton beat incumbent Republican senator Roger Marshall: 50.9% to 46.1%. In South Carolina, Democrat Annie Andrews defeated Darlene Graham, the sister of Lindsay Graham, who died in July, to take his seat temporarily. Influential Senator Graham is considered a friend of Trump, but has championed aid to Ukraine and pushed legislation for "hellish sanctions" against Russia. It was adopted after Graham's death, but Trump actually refused to implement it. One of the most epic defeats: Republican Gov. Greg Abbott ruled Texas for 11 years, but has now lost to a Democrat.
