We just witnessed the end of the Trump era
Democrats just had their best midterm in 68 years. Indeed, a lot of folks are going to. be talking about how Democrats swept into power in the House, Senate, and Governor's mansions. But I'm here to tell you the biggest story coming out of Tuesday night is we just witnessed the end. of the Trump era as we know it. What am I talking about? Well, I'm talking about this. We're talking. about historic unpopularity. And I'm talking about it when it comes to President Trump. You know, in our voter poll, what did we see? Trump's net approval rating, 24 points underwater.
Oh my goodness. Swimming down there with the Little Mermaid. That is the worst the worst for. a president in a midterm election in the modern era since we started exit polls back in the 1970s. And you know what's more important than that? Trump likes to deny the poll numbers that don't. go his way. He can't deny them anymore because we have confirmation. What are we looking at. here? Look at this. Trump's net approval rating, his pre-election day average in the pre-election. polling minus 24 points. How about in the voter poll? The exact same 24 points underwater. We're.
talking down there in Antarctica. My god. Now, of course, when it comes to Trump and his low net. approval rating, his historically low net approval rating, you know what it leads to? It leads to. historic gains. It leads to historic gains across the political map. What do I mean by that? Well, let's take a look here. How about in the United States Senate? The most Dem Senate seats held. postmidterm for the Democrats since 1990. A lot of our audience wasn't alive back then. We're talking.
about that they are going to hold at least 54 Senate seats and it may even go up to 56. My. goodness gracious. Of course, they only held 47 going into Tuesday. Now, when we talk about how. they got there in the United States Senate, look at this. Look at these states that Democrats carry. for the first time in the 21st century. Texas, James Terico, he's up by 12 points right now.
Kansas, Adam Hamilton up by five points right now. Five. How about in South Carolina, Annie Andrews? My goodness gracious. That of course South Carolina has not had a Democratic senator since. 1998. and Fritz Hollings. 1998, 1932, 1988 were the last time that these states had Democratic. senators elected. And you know what? We're not even talking about our bottom line here, which is.
Mississippi could be part of the equation, which was on nobody's radar. You want to talk about a. sign that the Trump era has done as we know it. Now, it's not just the Senate. What about the. United States House of Representatives at this hour? Look at this. House seats where Democrats. are leading. We are talking 260 plus. To give you some historical perspective on that, that would be. the largest majority for Democrats in 36 years. My god. Now, how did they get to that 260 seats? It.
came because of the voters and the national vote. Look at this. Oh my. At this hour, Democrats are. leading by 12 points in the national house vote. And my guess is it could go even higher than that. It could be the largest popular vote victory in the United States House of Representative in. terms of the margin since 1976. And you don't have to be a mathematical genius to know that that is. 50 years ago. Our bicesentennial for goodness sake. Now it's not just Congress that we're.
talking about. How about the governor's races? How about those Gov seats? Gov seeds Dems control. are leading it. We are talking about 30 30. You have to go all the way back over 30 years to the. mid 1990s to find the last time that Democrats controlled that many governor's mansions. Now, of course, what allowed Democrats to have these historic gains? Well, it's historic shifts that.
we saw among the electorate groups that Donald Trump did historically well for a Republican. presidential candidate. How about Hispanic voters? Okay, Hispanic voters here. Look at this. Kla. Harris, Kla Harris won Hispanic voters by only 11 points back in 2024. Take a look at this side of. the screen right here. Right now, look at this. Democrats leading that vote for Congress by 39. points. That is a 28 point shift. A 28 point shift towards the Democrats towards the left side of the.
aisle. But it's not just Hispanics, right? Of course, we saw that in Texas really play out. all those Latino gains. We saw it in the House level. We also, of course, saw it in the Senate. race and the gubanatorial race in Texas. The first Democratic governor in Texas since Anne Richards. back in 1990. And of course, as I mentioned, the first Democratic senator in Texas since 1988. Beyond that, how about 18 to 29 under the age of 30, men? This was a group that Donald Trump.
really broke through with back in 2024. Look at this. He won him by 14 points. Now look at this. Look at this. Democrats leading among this Trump group. A group that Trump easily carried by 24. points up like a rocket. The Democratic support. We're talking about a 38 point shift towards the. Democrats. Now you have historic gains. You have historic shifts that leads to consequences. That.
leads to election consequences. And what are we talking about in terms of consequences for Donald. Trump? Why I say it's the end of the Trump era as we know it. Well, first off, I think impeachment. is potentially on the table right now with those huge Democratic House majorities. Look at this. Say the grounds to impeach Trump. Look at this. A majority of Americans earlier this year, 53%, this same exact electorate that said that they were going to push Republicans out of power,
53% say their grounds to impeach Trump. More than that, a big issue in this election, of course, was. corruption and the belief that Democrats should be more trusted on corruption than Republicans. And. take a look here. Okay, the majority of Americans say that they want the Democratic majority to. investigate Trump's financial dealings. We're talking about 52% of the electorate, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll. Now, of course, it's not just investigations. It's not just impeachment. It is the ability for Trump to do what he did in his first term and that.
is of course get potential Supreme Court justices and indeed federal court nominees at large. Now, now he will need Democratic votes in the United States Senate to do that once of course we reach. the month of January. Now beyond that, when we talk about the end of the Trump era as we know it, it's not just about right here and now. It's about 2028 and lame duck status approaching very, very.
quickly. Indeed, I would argue it's pretty much already here for Donald John Trump. Look at this. Google searches for the 2028 election, hello, up 2400% versus last week, reaching an all-time high. Google searches the 2028 election up 2400%. That's an Elon Musk rocket. That's what we're talking. about here, by the way. Another big loser in this election, Elon Musk. And take a look at JD Vance's.
chances to be the 2028 GOP nominee according to Koshi, CNN's prediction market partner. Look at. this. A month ago, it was 45%. Down we go. Down we go. Look at this. Now it's just 31%. losing 14 points in a month. Marco Rubio, you here anywhere? Are you there? What about Ronda Santis? We'll see if they decide to run. Now this is my favorite part though because it's bonus slide.
And of course the Democrats. We haven't really spoken that much about the Democrats coming into. our now. It's the name of the game. Now Democrats have to be in charge in Congress. And you know. what? I think Republicans are going to have a pretty fun time with this because Chuck Schumer, is he going to be the Senate majority leader? Probably. But look at this. He enters power as. the least popular Democratic leader in the United States Senate since at least 1985. We'll see if. there's some infighting with Democrats right here and now in the weeks and months to come.
And of course, when it comes to Democrats, all eyes, as I say, Donald Trump's lame duck status, all eyes focusing in on 2028. Look at this. Democrats running for president. We are talking about potentially 15 plus Democrats running for the presidential. nomination. And of course, we'll have to see whether or not they measure up to the. voters just like the Democrats were able to measure up last night against the Republicans.
