Both Trump and Biden made the fatal error of promising they would bring prices down rather than slow their rise. The new intake of Democrats risks doing the same.
There is policy that would bring housing, energy, food, goods costs down! That stuff will take work.

The outcome of Tuesday’s elections may have been staggering, but it’s not the first time a president or party has been upbraided at the ballot box.

Before Tuesday, sensitivity to aggressive politicking had been shrugged off as the product of the “blue-pill establishment.” Critics were told they didn’t know “what time it is.”
Ohio said otherwise.

I am thinking the Republican party is not quite ready for an honest autopsy of what went wrong...the round-ups from the week seem to include Mitt Romney as a factor for the reckoning that just took place 🫠

"An underappreciated and entirely pleasing aspect of the Republicans’ demolishment on Tuesday was the utter failure of their attempt to preserve a GOP House majority through outlandish gerrymandering."

For a decade, Ohio has been MAGA territory.
On Tuesday it became a barometer of what the electorate would tolerate - how much they would allow the country’s moral fabric to fray.
As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.

On Tuesday Ohioans did what the vice president could not muster the courage to do: reject some of the ugliest campaign tactics and worst impulses of the MAGA movement in recent memory.

“Everything I don’t like in politics is because voters were misinformed by advertisements” is an authoritarian mindset.
Michigan Democratic Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed said his first mission will be eradicating the influence of money in American politics.
“Why don’t we have guaranteed health care? Money in politics. Why don’t we have unions? Money in politics,” he said.

This is cope: 760k net people moved to Texas since 2020
Even if EVERY SINGLE ONE voted Dem it would not account for the 1.2 million margin that Talarico is winning the state by
This was a *Texan* referendum on the entire GOP

Voters in swing states approved a lot of conservative ballot measures while voting for anti-Trump candidates.
If Democrats lurch far left on policy, the voters who gave them an enormous victory on Tuesday will be strongly tempted to switch back to the GOP or stay home in future elections.

Important point 👇 These midterms were a rebuke of state overreach which started nearly a year before the president went to war with Iran. That war was likely the final straw for a lot of voters, who were already unhappy that the government was deliberately making goods pricer.
The President's net approval on inflation/prices had plunged to Bidenesque levels BEFORE Iran.
The war then caused a further cratering to unprecedented low territory.
It's not 2025 policies OR Iran that got Republicans here. It's clearly both.

From Sunday: "Americans have been signaling to the president since his tariff wars began that they don’t like his dictating from on high what they can buy and how much they must pay."
Last night, those messages caught up with the White House.

Thinking about how many times over the past two years I heard Americans love tariffs, free trade is the enemy, the war is going great and people love the ICE raid videos.
