The president has warned Republicans that losing the midterms will be "big trouble" and has pushed for legislation that would severely restrict voters' access to the polls
A victory by New Hampshire Democrat Bobbi Boudman on Tuesday in a district previously carried by Donald Trump marked the 28th such election upset for Republicans since he retook office, an increasingly realistic portent of a midterm season that ends with Trump losing control of Congress.
Boudman clinched the state legislative seat this week after voters had backed Trump-endorsed Republican candidates in 2020 and 2024, the latter race Boudman lost by more than 13 points, according to Marissa Hebert, a spokesperson for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. Yet as Democrats across the United States continue to flip districts in their favor and despite desperate demands from Trump for Republicans to propose legislation to limit Americans' ability to vote the GOP has not flipped any.
Tuesdays are becoming a headache for state Republicans across the country as they suffer one stunning defeat after another," Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams said in a statement. "These wins arent a flash in a pan together, they tell an undeniable story of Democratic momentum as voters reject Republicans and blame them for soaring costs."
