Watch Trump's tragic midterm election defeat and the iron vote bank's comeback! Lin Zhuoshui: Taiwan’s election will also set off a political tsunami

The United States will hold midterm elections on the 3rd of this month. Although the votes have not yet been fully counted, it is certain that the Republican Party led by current President Trump has suffered a heavy defeat. Former Chinese legislator Lin Zhuoshui took this as a lesson. He pointed out that in this US election, many "iron red states" that have long been governed by the Republican Party have completely overturned. The political landscape may change from now on. This situation will always happen once or twice in decades, whether in the United States or in Taiwan. Whether Taiwan's election at the end of this month will set off a similar political tsunami is worthy of attention.

The U.S. midterm elections are underway, but the Democratic Party has gained more than half of the seats in the Senate and has crossed the threshold of 218 seats in the House of Representatives. The Republican Party is certain to lose control of both houses of Congress. The Democratic Party not only won in many swing districts, but also made a comeback in the "deep red districts" of Texas, Kansas and South Carolina. All major US media and public opinion have concluded that the result was a "rout" of the Republican Party. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance also publicly admitted their defeat in the election.

In this regard, Lin Zhuoshui posted on Facebook today (5th), "What is a tsunami? The Texas Senate Republican Party was still leading by 3% in the polls, but lost a huge 12%; the national Democratic Party won a small win by 2.1% in the pre-election poll for the House of Representatives, and the result was a 228-139 seat victory; Texas, Ohio, and Georgia, the "iron red states" that have been ruled by the Republican Party for a long time, all collapsed... The basic base everywhere cannot be defended, this is a tsunami."

He continued: "It should be noted that sometimes after a tsunami, the basic market will come back; sometimes the market will change. The latter is not common everywhere, but in the United States, it will always happen once or twice in Taiwan for decades. So will anyone pay further attention to what kind of tsunami will happen in Taiwan this time? This is a huge event."
