Republicans took a loss, Trump's much to blame for it

A major factor that hurt the GOP votes during the elections is the WHO Trump fiasco, including his MAGA campaign and the Jan 6 insurrection probe.

Although the American public is not satisfied with the current democratic-ruled administration under Joe Biden, the Republican party was still not a favorite or an alternative to America's year of 2024. 

According to the WSJ, two-thirds of Tuesday's voters in exit polls said Biden shouldn’t consider running for President again - and Democrats in his own party seconded that. 

Trump posted a social media message on Wednesday calling the results “A great evening” and pointed fingers at Democrats and media outlets who were “doing everything possible to play it down.”

There are multiple factors combined that contributed to the ongoing downfall of Republican favoritism during the midterm elections last Tuesday. Abortion, for example, hurt the GOP in some states, especially in Michigan where the Legislature failed to modify a 1931 law. 

The matter of abortion, and whether candidates advocate reinstating the Roe v Wade decision to allow abortion to be legal again or whether they are against it, majorly swayed the midterm results, and will thus impact the 2024 presidential race, especially by voters who are women. The 50-year-old decision now bans abortions across the US, with only a few states left allowing procedures to continue, such as New York, California, and Utah. 

Topics that appeal to Gen Z voters, were notes hit by the Democratic party to bring more votes and wins as well. 

With Republicans dealing with defense spending, funding the war in Ukraine, energy production, taxes, and immigration at the top of their agenda, they may have a plus, as those appeal to a majority of the American public. But as Biden is tackling a near-recession in 2023, he may take away from that victory by mending rising interest rate damages and extending the expiring tax provisions of the 2017 tax reform.

Another major factor that hurt the GOP votes is the WHO Trump fiasco, including his MAGA campaign and the Jan 6 insurrection probe.

“I’m very disappointed,” said Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania after his seat was taken by Democrat John Fetterman over Republican Mehmet Oz, whom Toomey advocated.

“I think a huge factor in all of this was the disastrous role of Donald Trump in this whole process,” he said.

“All across the country we see that the hardcore MAGA candidates dramatically underperformed more conventional Republicans, so that’s a big reality that we have to recognize,” he added. 

Representative Steve Chabot in Ohio stated, “We certainly emphasized the economy and inflation, and they were beating me over the head on abortion,” he said, adding, “That’s the thing that beat me,” 

On the other hand, Republican Kevin Brady of Texas said that Biden’s criticism of Republicans over Social Security and Medicare may have boosted Democrat-favored votes, even though some Republican lawmakers have backed changes in programs concerning changing the eligibility age.
