The 1.6% victory for Trump is the 5th smallest in the last 100 years. He got less than 50% of the total vote. Therefore he does not have a mandate, though of course he will claim it.

There is one uncalled House race, in CA where the Dem is leading with 99% of the vote in. If he wins, the GOP will have a one vote majority in the House for awhile. The Dems only lost one Senate seat in a swing state, and that was by a recount vote.

Dems for sure have work to do, but it wasn't as bad an overall loss as some people claim. I have faith they will figure it out.

Exactly. And as Republicans continue to propose sub par candidates dogged by sex crimes, alcoholism and deceptive behavior for Trump’s cabinet, they don’t come across as a team superior to Biden’s. It’s hard for Republicans to say that they are better than democrats with these people.

Putting incompetent and failed humans in positions of power to run the government will ensure that Democrats will big in 2026. So the Trump administration may only exist for 2 years.
