Fox News host in ruthless blast at Trump, GOP after midterm rout
Watters said the party lost white and young voters as Democrats swept Congress, citing preliminary data showing a sharp demographic reversal.
- Fox News host Jesse Watters declared Wednesday that the Republican Party's voter coalition has "totally collapsed" after Democrats swept control of both chambers of Congress in Tuesday's midterm elections.

- While Watters suggested the defeat could open "a bigger lane for a strong, untainted America-first patriot" to lead the GOP, Elon Musk warned that Democrats could elect a president in 2028.
