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.
