Dem Party still alive

This year’s pivotal off-year election demonstrates that rumors of the death of the Democratic Party were greatly exaggerated!

Many Trump supporters had cackled over the low approval ratings of the opposition party. A different story was told on Nov. 4 when Democrats decisively prevailed in every major race throughout the country. So much for the public blaming the Democrats for the government shutdown.

Donald Trump declared that he had a sweeping mandate when he eked out a win in the popular vote by a mere 1.5% in 2024. The Democrats who beat Republicans this year won by margins of true landslide proportions, many times that of the president. For now, the pendulum has swung away from the GOP!

As one prominent commentator said on television early in the evening of election night, “I guarantee you they are not exchanging high fives at the White House tonight.”

Let us hope that the anti-Republican momentum carries over to the crucial 2026 mid-term election, that the country continues to demonstrate that it does not support a bully president who would convert our democratic republic to an autocracy.
