Midterms: Die blaue Welle rollt: Deutliche Niederlage für die Republikaner bei den Zwischenwahlen
Noch laufen die Auszählungen, aber schon jetzt zeichnet sich ein Sieg der Demokraten in beiden Kammern ab. Trump reagiert gereizt. Die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Wahlnacht.
After 7:52 PM, the atmosphere transformed in Washington's Roofers Union Bar. People stood up, clapped, and celebrated. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the television screens in the room, all displaying the same news: Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff had won the Georgia election. Nearly 2,000 kilometers to the south, Amanda Knapp, President of the Miami Beach Democrats, jumped on a chair.
With every Democratic candidate declared the winner, she quickly ran to the room, grabbed a thick felt pen, and painted a blue heart on the circle declaring that candidate a winner. More cautious cheers came from the Democrats' party on Collins Road in Miami Beach: "I can hardly believe it," said the 40-year-old. Perhaps "it will actually be a blue wave."
She held her hand to her mouth. "Oh no, it's too early to say that." Knapp still had to run many times in the evening. "So far, it looks like the dream night the Democrats have had," commented the election analyst Nate Silver at 8:23 PM.
