GOP Meltdown Sparks Battle over Who's to Blame
Republicans are arguing over Trump’s role after Democrats won control of the Senate and gained ground in the House, with several races still undecided.
- On Tuesday, Democrats captured the House and Senate, rejecting President Donald Trump's handpicked Republican candidates in critical races across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Texas.
- Trump's aggressive intervention in primaries divided the Republican Party, prioritizing loyalty over electability; internal polling six weeks ago predicted both chambers would be lost despite a month-long campaign.
- Democrat Annie Andrews unseated Trump-backed Darline Graham in South Carolina, while Democrat James Talarico secured a Texas seat the party had not won since 1988, delivering what analysts called a "Trump Quake."
- President Trump dismissed the results Tuesday night, writing on social media, "I wasn't on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE!" while claiming he focused on his priorities.
- Republican concerns mount that Trump has become a political liability, with his popularity lower than in 2021, prompting surviving members to seek distance from the former president.
