Donald Trump says GOP defeats ‘not his fault’ after polls
A remarkable 47 of
voters” explosively disapproved” of Trump in New Jersey, where he
lost by a bare six points in 2024. This group supported Democrat Mikie Sherrill
97- 2 over Democratic Jack Ciattarelli, who was championed by Trump. The vote
was 67- 31 in favor of Sherrill among the 8 who” kindly
disapproved” of
Trump.
Likewise, only 13 of New
Jersey choosers stated they cast their ballots to support Trump, compared to 40
who claimed they did so to oppose him.
Trump mostly disregarded
the beating his party and his favored candidates had received the previous
evening at a business event in Miami on Wednesday afternoon. Rather, he boasted
about the election that put him back in power a year ago.
“We won a tremendous
election. We won all seven swing states,”
he boasted in one of his standard, disjointed
speeches that ran 61 minutes.
“We won the Electoral College 312 to 226 and
we won 86% of the counties in America. That’s a big one, 2,700 to 525. I’d say
that’s called a landslide, right?”
Trump reiterated numerous
of his favorite lies, similar as the assertion that the 2020 election was
outfitted, that his duty cuts in 2017 were the largest in history, and that
grocery costs” are way down.”
He persisted in labeling
California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom a” muddy joe” and”
Newscum,” but he neglected to bring up Newsom’s significant political palm
on Tuesday, which was the blessing of a named action that might give
Egalitarians five further House seats in that state. In response to Trump’s
insistence that Texas draw new boundaries to give Republicans more House seats
there, Newsom took up the ballot matter.
“You know, I said, they
were voting last night, you can have a communist or a thug. A communist. And
they took the communist, you know, it’s pretty amazing,”
he said, and then again
shifted any fault for Tuesday’s results away from himself.
“We could have
done a little better in terms of candidates.”
Trump barely mentioned the
outcome of the Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the mayoral
contest in his hometown of New York City.
Early in the coronavirus
pandemic, Trump famously said that he had nothing to do with the high death
rate and lack of testing in the US.
How did exit polls contradict Trump’s claims about the losses?
Exit polls contradicted President Donald Trump’s claims about the
Democratic losses by showing wide name dissatisfaction with his administration,
which was a significant factor in Popular palms.
For illustration, about 56 percent in New Jersey and 63 percent in
California expressed disapprobation. profitable enterprises, including
affectation and affordability, were leading factors motivating choosers to
support Egalitarians, contrary to Trump’s assertion that his absence from the
ballot led to GOP losses.
Judges stressed that Trump’s ongoing divisive part
electrifiedanti-Trump choosers to turn out in large figures, contributing
heavily to Popular triumphs. Choosers’ disgruntlement with the status quo and
desire for change played a stronger part than Trump’s claims about the
government shutdown or not being on the ballot.
