The GOP's biggest problem going into the midterms is the face of the party; President Donald J Trump
Wall Street Journal destroys Trump’s fantasy of a GOP ‘Red Wave’ with a devastating midterm reality check
According to the editors, the GOP narrowly averted a devastating loss in an Ohio special election, and that is a warning sign that there is major trouble on the horizon for Republicans seeking to hold both houses of Congress.
“The ominous news for Republicans is that they hold about 68 House seats that are less Republican than this Ohio district. Most include stretches of suburbia that have been GOP strongholds but where many voters dislike Mr. Trump’s abrasive style and polarizing governance,” the editorial warned, noting Democrats only need to pick up 23 seats to retake the House.
According to the WSJ, the GOP’s biggest problem going into the midterms is the face of the party; President Donald J Trump.
“Tuesday’s results cast doubt on the current White House strategy to make the election a referendum on Donald J. Trump,” the piece maintained. “His omnipresence also motivates Democrats, while it may de-motivate soft Republicans and independents who dislike Mr. Trump.”
