Democrats Win House and Senate in Midterms, Prompting Conservative Alarm
Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, delivering a major setback to President Donald Trump and Republicans. The sweeping victory has triggered alarm among conservative figures about the party's future. Conservative commentator Laura Loomer declared "America is over" on X, predicting Democrats would hold the Senate until 2032 and win the 2028 presidential election. Tucker Carlson called the results a "disaster," while Michael Flynn described the losses as an "annihilation," with some MAGA figures blaming Trump's policies. Nicki Minaj reaffirmed her support for Trump, writing "Trump is STILL your PRESIDENT." House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would step aside, while Trump rejected the results as a personal rejection and vowed to use his veto power against Democratic legislation.
