Last night should have been a warning to the right. But the arrogance will not let it happen.
‘A Warning to Mr. Trump’: Wall Street Journal Declares Election Results a ‘Backlash’ to the ‘Trump-Musk Governing Style’
The Wall Street Journal called Tuesday night’s election results a “backlash” to the “Trump-Musk governing style” in a new editorial after Democrats made gains in two red Florida congressional districts and easily dispatched a Republican-backed opponent in a Wisconsin state Supreme Court race.
Under the headline “The MAGA Backlash Arrives,” the Journal called “the comfortable win” by Democratic Judge Susan Crawford “the second sign in two weeks of a political backlash against the Trump Presidency.”
“Democrats turned out in large numbers to defeat Republican Judge Brad Schimel in a race where the two sides may have spent as much as $100 million. Democrats sought to make the race a referendum on Elon Musk and Donald Trump, and Mr. Musk responded by trying to mobilize the Trump voters who tend to stay home in spring elections. The Democratic bet paid off,” observed the editorial. “That’s a warning to the GOP that the Trump-Musk governing style is stirring a backlash that could cost them control of Congress next year. All the more so given the results in two special House races in Florida Tuesday to replace a pair of Republicans.”
Trump has not been in office for 100 days, and there is a nationwide backlash against him and his policies.
