Midterm defeat deals death blow to Trump coalition
Commentators argued that the Democratic rout spells the end of US President Donald Trump’s political movement.
The historic Democratic victory in the midterm elections has effectively dealt a fatal blow to the Trump coalition, according to various commentators. Republicans suffered a major defeat, marking the demise of a nationalist movement that projected invulnerability and ruthlessness, as noted by Politico. However, this electoral outcome does not guarantee sustained Democratic dominance, as swing voters in the United States are expected to continue casting one-year terms in office, making the results more of a historic collapse than a realignment.
The once-effective strategy of President Donald Trump to mobilize his base through financial support from individuals who may not fully understand their constituents has failed, as Democrats bet on the inevitability of gravity and Trump's inability to defy it.
