Castigo a Trump, victoria de la democracia
Los estadounidenses se revuelven contra el caos de la Casa Blanca con una marea demócrata en las elecciones legislativas
The most important lesson from the Republicans' resounding defeat and Donald Trump's loss in the U.S. midterm elections, held on Tuesday, is that democracy thrives in the country that just celebrated its 250th anniversary of founding. This lesson is significant, and it was not in doubt despite Trump's aversion to the separation of powers and his systematic challenge to the legitimate electoral process.
Across this continental nation, from north to south, and east to west, voters have expressed their disgust with an economy battered by inflation and military adventures. By casting their votes, they have also rejected the authoritarian agenda that Trump launched two years ago when he secured his second presidential term, and which had strained democratic norms to extreme levels.
Trump still has two years left in the White House, but now with the massive power of Congress against him.
