President Trump took to his favorite medium, Truth Social, to share some brief insight into his thoughts about the rapidly-developing results from the 2022 midterm elections.
“While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing, from my personal standpoint it was a very big victory – 219 WINS and 16 Losses in the General – Who has ever done better than that?” he wrote.
While a small handful of races didn’t quite go the way that Republican voters had hoped, overall, the midterms were a very big night for President Trump’s America First candidates, who have all but regained control of the House and are poised to take the Senate if a few Senate races pan out positively for the GOP.
Per Fox News, Republicans have netted 204 Senate seats so far to Democrats’ 176, and the momentum is largely behind the GOP. U.S. Senate nominee for Arizona, Blake Masters, will likely win his seat – although the race hasn’t been called yet – and Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker will be headed to a runoff election against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., via the Associated Press.
Former Nevada Attorney General and U.S. GOP Senate nominee Adam Laxalt is also likely to win his race, which would be good news for the Republican Party.
Last night during an election night appearance at Mar-a-Lago, Trump joked, “Wouldn’t that be funny if we were better [on] the general election that in the nominations?”
Some big GOP victories from Tuesday’s election include:
Further, Kellyanne Conway shared the results of a Fox News voter analysis on Twitter, indicating a seismic nationwide swing toward the GOP. According to Conway’s takeaways from the poll, there was a 12-point swing toward the GOP among white suburban women, a 15-point swing among Black voters toward the GOP, and a 10-point swing toward the GOP among Hispanic voters.
Additionally, wildly popular Arizona GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake is expected to take the lead in her race today, as she continues to dominate Election Day ballot drops in the Grand Canyon State.
We didn't lose the election! We have come out on top and President Trump's endorsements came through like gangbusters.
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
Complication by redguyinabluestate, Thanks!
I hope we prevail.
But, but, but Trump doesn’t speak in presidentialease or some such or other (typed in my best FReeper go-home-Trump voice).
Also Trump wasn’t responsible for running the campaigns for the ones who lost.
Not good enough.
/s
He did what he could but you have to remember what he had to work with.
the biggest winner of the night was Desantis - and I am gonna assume Trump saw internal numbers predicting this is how it was going to unfold and his insecurities caused him to lash out and come up with “Ron Sanctimonious”
sick of the immaturity. it is costing us voters.
Some questions about those numbers:
How many of those who won were in safe districts (i.e., the endorsement had no real practical effect on the race) and how many of those who lost were in winnable districts?
It would also be interesting to see how those Trump didn’t endorse but who won did relative to those he did endorse. We’re their wins bigger or smaller than the Trump endorsees?
Just quoting raw numbers doesn’t say anything about whether or not Trump’s endorsement was of any value or whether it was a hindrance.
Bingo. Like picking the favorites at the track. OK, I’ve never been to the track.
Way to piss on the parade.
It’s clear today i/we were foolish to hope this whole mess could be turned around in a single election. It’s gonna be a slow hard crawl back to normalcy.
I put a lot of blame on the pollsters and pundits who told all of us there would be this red sunami. I think we feel all let down because we believed them.
I also was rooting for the same candidates, so I guess I can claim their wins as mine too.
No doubt some of it was due to Covid legislation and mail in ballots that a lot of people thought bad governance would naturally correct. And to be fair how much of these unexpected losses were due to fraud remains to be investigated. Were Republican and Independent numbers really down ? Still a lot of questions.
Delusional. Such hubris.
I believe that the Republicans have the House and there is still a chance for the Senate.
Or am I wrong?
We lost some races that we thought that we would win, but, Republicans never fixed the issues that allowed widespread Rat fraud, like universal mail in voting, here in PA, so what did we expect?
We can, basically, make Pedo Joe a nonentity for the next 2 years.
That’s, really, the best that we could have hoped for, isn’t it?
If I’m wrong, can someone, please, set me straight?
How many of these were takeaways? How many were expected holds? I know he was responsible for two atrocious candidates, Oz who lost a GOP Senate seat and Walker who finished what 300k votes behind the hated Brian Kemp, and who is now in need of a runoff. In Arizona Lake is still trailing and Masters is not beating Kelly. He did endorse Vance but in Ohio a Rep running for Senate shouldn’t be close. So call me unimpressed by his numbers.
No. But he had a lot to do with the losers running in the first place.
If Trump really believes he’s a king maker then let DeSantis lead the way on the walker runoff. If he can’t get him over the line he can crow all day. If he really thinks he’s a better choice than DeSantis he should relish the opportunity.
