US EditionRepublicans ‘Taught a Lesson’ After Democrat Election Clean Sweep
The 36-day federal shutdown contributed to Democratic victories in key states as low MAGA voter turnout affected Republican performance, President Trump said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump acknowledged the government shutdown hurt Republicans, contributing to coast-to-coast Democratic wins including Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., and Abigail Spanberger.
- The shutdown is now the longest in U.S. history, furloughing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and disrupting programs, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warning of flight chaos next week.
- On the turnout question, Trump claimed on Truth Social that many losses stemmed from his name absence, reducing MAGA voter participation, while Vivek Ramaswamy said, `We got our asses handed to us` and Hakeem Jeffries said the GOP was `wiped out`.
- Pushing to reopen government, Trump urged ending the Senate filibuster and the 60-vote threshold while senators discussed votes on a smaller bipartisan funding package and Schumer urged talks to end the crisis.
- Centrist senators and Appropriations Committee members intensified talks to break the stalemate, while Moderate Democrats showed willingness to compromise and top Democrats in Congress demanded Trump meet with Capitol Hill after Tuesday's elections.
