Gabriel erzählte übrigens 2017, gemeinsam mit dem damaligen Kurzzeit-Außenminister Rex Tillerson könne man Trump schon einhegen. Hat super geklappt.

NEW: Inside Trump’s decision to replace Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller
It’s a signal that, despite GOP midterms rout, Trump wants to fight
And unlike Wiles, Miller will likely not block Trump’s leaks crackdown - which could mean jailing journalists theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

In choosing Stephen Miller, Trump is going for:
- Loyalty over compromise
- Defiance against new Congress
- Confrontation over course correction
- An all or nothing approach to his final two years

Weil hier einige argumentieren, die 🇺🇸-Dems könnten nur mit sehr linken Kandidaten gewinnen, hier mal der Reality Check. Der linke El-Sayed hat deutlich weniger Stimmen hinzugewonnen als der christlich-progressive Talarico, der Pragmatiker Ossoff oder der moderate Hamilton.

🚨 Die Zahl der Demokraten-Sitze im Repräsentantenhaus ist inzwischen auf 253 gestiegen. Am Ende könnten es 260 werden - mehr als zu Beginn der Obama-Präsidentschaft (257). Dann bräuchten sie noch 30 Republikaner, um
mit 2/3-Mehrheit Trump-Vetos zu neutralisieren.

CNN was scheduled to be today’s TV pool. But the White House blocked us from being allowed in for the president’s event in the Oval Office that’s now underway. That means none of the five networks will have audio or video of his remarks.

Die Messer sind raus. Und sie deuten auf Donald Trump.
🚨 WOW. Gov. Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF right now post-blue tsunami:
"I see the ad, 'so and so voted against releasing the Epstein Files.' I'm like, that's a bad vote. We ran as Republicans saying we need to do that. And you have people in Congress voting against release when the he had all the all this horrific stuff on her desk and that people are gonna be held accountable?!"
"It's untenable when you have people going in trading stocks! I've never traded stocks since I've been in elected office. How do you have no investment acumen, and then all of a sudden get elected to Congress, and then you're outperforming Warren Buffett?"
"I saw how they were running and it was a rejection of what was going on in DC."

Bei den Republikanern werden die Messer gezückt. Kühle Analyse des Wahlergebnisses durch J.D. Vance: „Der Grund, warum wir verloren haben, ist der (Iran-) Krieg.“ Seine These: die MAGA-Basis ist noch da. Sie hat bloß aus Frust dieses Mal für die anderen gestimmt.
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether 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 wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d 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. (She’s 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 enforcement—by 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, “I told you so”: you’re 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. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

Ratschläge für die US-Demokraten von der erfolgreichen deutschen Sozialdemokratie.
Ein deutlicher Sieg für die Demokraten! Für sie beginnt jetzt die eigentliche Arbeit. Statt auf Rache zu setzen, müssen sie fragen, warum Trumps Bewegung in der Vergangenheit so erfolgreich war. Entscheidend wird, wen sie 2028 ins Rennen schicken.
