Trump's defeat in seven points

Democratic Party candidates inflicted a heavy defeat on the Trump administration by winning even states that were considered Republican strongholds. As the American people turned their backs on President Donald Trump's party in the "Blue Wave" that turned into a "Blue Tsunami", Republicans lost power in almost every part of the country, from regions with a large Hispanic population to states that were considered Republican strongholds, where Democrats had not been able to win for generations.

While the results are not yet final, Reuters has compiled seven numbers that show the extent of the big Democratic victory and Republican defeat:

64

The Democratic vote increased significantly in all counties with a majority Hispanic population. In 64 districts within this scope, the Republican vote rate was 14 points lower than Trump's rate in 2024. This change was much greater than the change in the rest of the country.

In Hidalgo County, Texas, on the US border with Mexico, the Republican vote rate decreased by approximately 25 points. In Miami-Dade County in Florida, which Trump won in 2024, the Republican vote rate dropped by 10 points.

11

So far, Republicans have not won in any House district that Trump won by less than 11 points two years ago. This revealed that the Democrats' rise was strong enough to unseat even Republican lawmakers who were expected to be re-elected under normal circumstances.

On top of that, Democrats captured four electoral districts that Trump won by more than 15 points. One of these areas was in Indiana. Democratic candidate J.D. Ford defeated incumbent Victoria Spartz by a wide margin. Trump won here too by about 17 points.

Two years ago, Trump also won the election in Alaska and Mississippi by double-digit margins.

10

Republicans hoped to solidify their majority in the House of Representatives by redrawing electoral districts in some states. However, this attempt also failed.

None of the 15 seats held by Democrats targeted by Republicans changed hands. Democrats won 10 of these seats, with the results of the other five not yet finalized.

3

Democratic socialist Angie Nixon is 3 points away from being elected to the Senate in Florida, which Trump has adopted as his home and is one of the important sources of his electoral power. When Trump was re-elected two years ago, he won Florida by 13 points. However, the vote shift towards Democrats in Florida; It was half the change in Texas, South Carolina and Kansas.

0

Republicans did not win any of the House or Senate races that were considered competitive before voting began Tuesday.

"IF I WAS A CANDIDATE, WE WOULD WIN"

Making a statement after the election results, Trump acknowledged that the Iran war played an important role in the Republicans' loss, while continuing to defend the military intervention against Tehran.

Agreeing with the assessment that the Iran war was largely responsible for the election defeat, Trump stated that the war was necessary despite this and said, "It was worth it. You cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." he said. Trump argued that the fact that his name was not on the ballot in the elections was also effective in the defeat of the Republicans and said, "If I had been a candidate, we would have won." he said.

Speaking about the election performance of the Republican candidates, Trump stated that the voter support for him could not be transferred to other candidates and said, "We could not reflect the love felt for us to the candidates." he said.

Trump, who will face stronger opposition in the remaining two years of his term with the Democrats gaining the majority in Congress, nevertheless gave the message that he can work with the other party. Trump said, "I will probably get along well with the Democrats," and spoke harshly about a possible impeachment attempt. US President: "If they try to impeach me, it will destroy the Democratic Party." he said.
