The preliminary results of the so-called 2026 midterm elections in the United States paint the worst-case scenario that Donald Trump and his remaining followers within the Republican hordes (it hasn’t been a party for some time) could of imagined. A large Democratic majority in the House was a prediction even a political novice could have made, but a 54-44 majority in the Senate was not anticipated even by the most enthusiastic of their rivals—until early votes began to be tallied in the days leading up to Election Day.
