Historically, the midterms go against incumbent presidents, and the current midterms were no exception. Issues other than pocketbook issues were the war in Iran, high fuel prices, and support for Israel.
It always seems to come down to pocketbook issues, as if by changing Party the outcome will be more favorable to your pocketbook.
Good policies that help our country are ignored if inflation and affordability are problematic. And too much Trump” on the ballot was a turnoff.
Basically, the electorate considers self first and Country second…with little consideration for secure Borders, lower crime, reduced taxes, lower prescription drug prices, and support of Israel. Promoting peace, putting America first, etc.
President Trump promoted results for the future while Americans wanted results now…the now generation won and the future lost.
Now, let’s see what the Democrats can accomplish in lowering inflation, lowering gasoline prices, lowering grocery prices, and making housing more affordable…and if they can’t, then of course it will be Trump’s fault.
