Democrats' midterm landslide exceeds Trump team's worst fears

rawstory.com —

Democrats won a landslide victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, exceeding even the worst predictions of President Donald Trump's own aides and allies, according to multiple insiders who spoke to Zeteo. Democrats are projected to win at least 258 House seats, their largest majority in over 30 years, and are also projected to reclaim control of the Senate. Republican operatives and officials described the night as a "bloodbath," with one adviser calling it an "utter bloodbath," noting that losses in strongholds like Texas and Ohio surpassed their expectations. The results leave Trump facing a Democratic-controlled Congress for his final two years in office, poised to stall his legislative agenda. Early exit polls showed Trump's approval rating at 38%, with about 60% of voters saying the president factored into their House vote.
