The GOP did really awful last night from what I'm reading on conservative news sights. They lost across the board, not only in blue states but a few reliably red states also. The conservative web sights are blaming a lack of price reductions in food, cars, gasoline not being down enough, etc.
If this is true then I have a sneaky feeling that Trump's tariffs loomed large in voters minds. I personally don't believe the tariffs are causing higher prices from the information I've been reading but perception is reality. The blue media often says tariffs are a tax on Americans. They raise prices on good bought they say.
So voters didn't like how Democrats caused high inflation while Biden was in office. They kicked the Democrats out of power over that,. While inflation has improved under Trump, prices for food and other items still remain high and they are not happy about it. That is the guess on a main voting motivation for many of the races. A lousy economy is not a positive. That apparently is what voters want, lower prices. Giving them what they don't want, well that only makes them upset.
