Donald Trump is said to be 'livid' this morning and 'screaming at everybody' after a lackluster performance by Republicans in the midterms - and is even rumored to be blaming his wife Melania for advising him to endorse defeated Pennsylvania candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The House and Senate both still hang in the balance today despite the promised 'red tsunami' of Republican support. While results in key swing states like Arizona and Georgia are still pending, many are calling Trump the biggest loser of the night with Republicans swearing him off, and throwing their weight behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for a 2024 run.
For Trump, the midterms were supposed to be an amuse-bouche before another White House campaign.
But some of his most prolific candidates crashed and burned overnight. Oz, a TV star turned politician, suffered one of the most embarrassing defeats of the night, losing to John Fetterman in Pennsylvania.
According to The New York Times' Maggie Haberman, who recently released a scathing biography about Trump, the former president is particularly 'furious' that Oz lost - and is 'blaming everyone... including his wife' for advising him to support him in April.
'Trump is indeed furious this morning, particularly about Mehmet Oz, and is blaming everyone who advised him to back Oz -- including his wife, describing it as not her best decision, according to people close to him,' she tweeted.

I don’t think Trump takes orders from anyone....even Melania.
He has Parkinson's Cancer!

Sure, Jan…
They’re jealous and terrified of Trumps endorsement record which I doubt anyone has matched.
ah yes, the Daily Fail.

Midterms Toss 4th Member Of Jan. 6 Committee Out Of Congress:
Virginia Democrat Congresswoman Elaine Luria became one of the first incumbents to lose re-election Tuesday night as well as the fourth member of the House Select Committee of Jan. 6 to leave Congress next year.
Luria lost in Virginia’s southeast 2nd congressional district to Republican Jennifer Kiggans, a nurse practitioner and former Navy pilot.
In her concession speech, Lauria congratulated her opponent, thanked supporters, and went on to fearmonger over President Donald Trump’s “danger” to “democracy.”
“Our work is not done,” Luria said. “Donald Trump wants to announce for president in 2024, and the dangers that exist to our democracy, the things that I’ve been working on as a member of the Select Committee for the January 6th investigation … that work continues.”
Nearly half the Jan. 6 Committee, however, won’t.
Luria follows Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney who also lost her House seat in a referendum. In August, Cheney was overwhelmingly defeated by Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman challenging the incumbent congressman in a Republican primary. Cheney was ultimately booted out of Congress by more than 37 points. Had Democrat voters not changed party registration to back Cheney in the Republican contest, Cheney’s margin of defeat would have been far wider.
Since joining House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Select Committee as the leader’s hand-picked vice chair, Cheney’s endorsement has proven to be the political kiss of death for the soon-to-be ex-lawmaker’s few allies. Cheney herself began her third term in the latest Congress with the number three role in the House Republican conference as chair. By summer, Cheney was co-opted by Democrats to lead their latest witch hunt probe and was kicked from her perch in leadership.
Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger was the second Republican hand-picked by Pelosi to serve on the Select Committee. Rather than face the same humiliation as Cheney in Wyoming, Kinzinger opted not to run again. Jan. 6 Committee Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., once considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, also turned down a bid for re-election.
The remaining five members of the Select Committee who re-appeared on the ballot this fall are running in districts deemed reliably Democrat.

Its their Harlequin Romance style. They were in the room with Donald and Melania, just like they were in the room when Putin got angry and threw a chair at his top general.

While there are seats still pending and those appear as “Won primary”.
The track record so far appears to be the following:
Senate 25 candidates endorsed
5 Pending 16 Won 4 Lost
House 164 candidates endorsed
9 Pending 143 Won 12 Lost
He has to operate alone because he has no support from the GOP.
The long knives are out now and this Daily Mail story is designed to further isolate him.
“So what do you think the percentage is of Freepers that will think this is hard news and accurate”
A lot. They’re all out. Illogical
There’s no way DT is on Melanie’s case for anything
There’s no way the daily mail knows or would know
Trump did not pick anyone to run. He endorsed runners if he thought they had a chance.
Barnette would have done better than Oz. Odd celebrated winning the primary by taking the whole summer off. At least Barnette would have worked hard. Oz look like a deer in the headlights and he didn’t even have an issue other than he’s friends with Oprah. He couldn’t even beat one of the worst Senate candidates in history.
That Fetterman won over Oz means he would’ve won no matter who ran against him.
This isn’t on Oz or Trump but the deranged majority in PA.
Well, put it this way Ben Simmons doesn’t shoot very much.
And this personal, private info was shared by which fly
on the wall? Please, spare us the lies.
They have been saying that for years. I'm just saying it now. Don't paint me with the Qanon brush. There isn't enough support for his EGO anymore. He may be right in everything he says, but it's clearly not good enough anymore.
I'd hoped he might mature into a senior statesman like Ike or Marshall. He'll just stay like a Patton. It's so simple, too many people hate him in spite of his policies. It's over the fix is in.
Really? Don’t think so.
Didn’t Trump spend a lot of time with her and at one time say they had some kind of sync?
The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper, repeatedly published and posted online the locations and directions to the myriad of drop boxes in Philadelphia, about 20 of them. Philadelphia has a LONG history of election fraud. I sure hope that city is on Vlad's list.
