The “red wave” did not flood the American polls, while the international media speak of a “sad night for Trump”

Midterm elections in the United States of America they may not have a winner but they definitely have a loser and he is none other than him Donald Trump.
The man who dreams of returning to the White House and whose name hovers like a ghost over the US political scene has received another blow. This time in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
For the former president of the country, Donald Trump, the last 48 hours would be nothing less than a triumph, which would spread like a gigantic red wave over the country. In the end, no wave… flooded the polls, and in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, the silence made a deafening noise.
Democrats bracing themselves for a crushing defeat and hoping for a miracle manage to limit Republican gains in the House of Representatives while the battle in the Senate is proving to be very tough as the derby between the two sides turns into a thriller.
Trumpism did not win, the American and non-American media conclude, with the New York Times pointing out that the possibility of the former president’s return worked as a rallying point for the Democrats. “Sad night for Trump” commented “Politico” with “The Guardian” almost celebrating it by attributing his defeat to his… narcissism.
“While in some ways yesterday’s election was relatively disappointing, from my perspective it is a great victory. We have 219 wins and 16 losses overall. Who else has accomplished this? “, wrote Donald Trump on his own social networking platform “Truth Social”.
The above numbers have not been confirmed. The country’s 45th president was waiting for the nominations he supported to sweep through to act as a passport for him to announce – with glory and honor – his return as a contender for the White House within the next week.
His choices seem to have ruined his plans. In Pennsylvania, Democrats elect governor and senator, taking the seat from Republicans. In Nevada, the battle for the Senate is still being played out with the counting not expected to be completed even today. Arizona is on a razor’s edge while history will be written in Georgia which goes to the second round with December 6th set as judgment day.
The House of Representatives is seen to roll into the hands of the Republicans even by a small margin. In 2018, the Democrats won 41 seats against the Republicans, who in 2010 lost 63 seats from Obama, while in 1994, under Clinton, they had won 54. A slim majority of the “red” in the House will prove to be a difficult task for the Republican party and mainly for Kevin McCarthy who is earmarked for Speaker of the House.
“When the media and analysts were predicting a huge red wave, it didn’t happen. The Democrats had a strong night,” US President Joe Biden said in his first address. He acknowledged, however, that “the voters are irritated” to add that he will stick to his policy as the results will vindicate him.
The economy and galloping inflation in the country they played a very important role in the vote of the Americans, however according to the estimates so far only 1/3 of them voted with these criteria. As political analysts note, the Democrats’ bet to rally voters by repeating the dangers to democracy was justified while, they add, the presence of Trump himself played a role, not necessarily because he did not choose the right candidates to support, but because he resigned himself. of…
