Midterm Disaster

Trump’s poor month all started with the lack of a red wave on election night, and specifically the defeats of many candidates he endorsed. Many blamed the underwhelming performance by Republicans on Trump and said that was proof that the party needs to move on from him in order to win elections in the future. Trump backed candidates who lost included Mehmet Oz, Kari Lake, Herschel Walker, Blake Masters, and Adam Laxalt. All of the following candidates lost in swing states and has many believing that Trump would not be able to deliver key swing states like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia or Nevada in 2024 if he were the nominee.
