[I]t is a sign of life and societal health that Trump and his spineless, cowardly, anti-intellectual, yes-men troop of unqualified reality deniers suffered the most resounding midterm defeat for a governing party in over 50 years.

The greatest matter of concern for the midterms were effective countermeasures regarding inflation, which threaten everyday livelihood.

U.S. commentators said the result [of the midterms] had 'dramatically reshaped the balance of power in Washington."

Party identity is never a shield, and populist rhetoric, however strong its power to mobilize, does not last if promises go unfulfilled.
