Republicans are calling the 2022 elections a disaster and are blaming Trump for a historic midterm election defeat.

Trump has an iron grip on the GOP base, but his brand of anti-democratic, grievance politics is alienating voters. Many of the extremists pushed by Trump in the primaries failed to win swing districts as women and young voters turnout for Democrats. The modest GOP gains in the House are mostly a result of Gerrymandered districts and control of the Senate may come down to yet another runoff election in Georgia.
