Donald Trump unlawfully attacked a foreign country, putting American lives at risk and bypassing Congress and the Constitution. His reckless actions are not leadership â theyâre a dangerous abuse of power. You are a war criminal
Abdul El Sayed secures a historic Senate victory, becoming the first Muslim to enter the chamber in its 237 year history after facing repeated personal attacks from Trump, who referred to him as âMohammedâ on the campaign trail.
I first met @AbdulElSayed 9 years ago when I was first figuring out how to get involved in this work. Thank you for your commitment to advance M4A, Palestinian rights, and fight bigotry. Proud to have supported the first Muslim U.S. Senator!
Tehran erupts in anti American demonstrations as crowds torch a massive banner featuring Trump, Vance, Netanyahu, and Witkoff in Revolution Square.
Asked when the Iran war would end, Trump replied that the decision was entirely his to make, whenever he wants to.
Karoline Leavitt blames the media for the Democratsâ midterm victory, arguing that Americans donât understand their own financial situation despite reporters pointing to their personal experience.
Trump faults his candidates for the midterm losses, saying the enthusiasm and support at his rallies failed to translate into votes for them.
President Trump acknowledges that the Iran war contributed to Republican losses in the Midterm elections, yet insists he would make the same decision again.
Trump dismisses impeachment concerns, claiming Democrats would suffer politically for attempting to remove him over what he calls a successful presidency.
Even Americaâs Christian majority isnât behind you. Their faith doesnât mean they support your politics.
You are rejected!
All Trump needs to do is cut ties with Netanyahu. The American people have made their voices heard.
Time for President Trump to deal with Iran once and for all. Just do it.
Nothing to lose now.
Finish the job. @POTUS
You both need to take responsibility for this defeat. Netanyahuâs lies and the cost of the Iran war have come back to haunt you. Time to reflect.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"âwhether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasnât sharp enough down the stretch. Iâm sure thatâs true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollsterâone of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday weâd lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (Sheâs also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcementâby focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, âI told you soâ: youâre right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Letâs take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
Cry baby @LauraLoomer
đŹđ§Prime Minister Andy Burnham says Trumpâs congressional setbacks could create a new opportunity for global unity, arguing that the Middle East conflict must end to ease the cost-of-living crisis.

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries urges President Trump to bring the war with Iran to an end before Democrats assume power in January.
He said the message from the American people in the recent election was clear: âThat was clearly one of the messages the American people decisively sent.â
In his first comment since the results were announced, Vice President JD Vance outlines the four reasons that Republicans lost the US Midterm Elections:
1. Iran War
2. Cost of living and inflation
3. Voters want "America First"
4. Relationship with Israel
