Midterms: „Nacht, von der die Demokraten geträumt haben“: Trumps Niederlage wird immer größer
Dieser Sieg ist eindeutig: Im Senat und im Repräsentantenhaus erreichen die Demokraten eine klare Mehrheit. Trump reagiert gereizt. Die vier wichtigsten Erkenntnisse der Wahlnacht.
In Washington, the atmosphere at the Roofers Union Bar shifted dramatically at 7:52 PM. As people rose and cheered, applause echoed through the room. All eyes turned to the television screens displaying the same information - Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff had emerged victorious in Georgia's election. Not far away, Amanda Knapp, President of the Miami Beach Democrats, leapt onto a chair.
With each announcement of a Democratic candidate's win, she dashed to a chalkboard, her thick felt pen in hand, painting a blue heart next to the candidate's name. The jubilant mood at the Miami Beach Democrats' party on Collins Road, Florida was cautious. "I can hardly believe it," said the 40-year-old. "Maybe this will be the start of a blue wave."
She covered her mouth nervously. "Oh no, it's too early to say that." As the evening wore on, Knapp had to jump up multiple times. "So far, it looks like a dream night for Democrats," commented election analyst Nate Silver at 8:23 PM.
