Trump’s loss overshadows a catastrophic election for the Democrats

​Joe Biden looks to be on his way to the White House. There will be recounts, and legal challenges and tweets, oh the tweets. Biden’s lead appears insurmountable. But the Democrats can’t be too happy.

Trump’s loss and his behaviour are going to overshadow what is one of the more catastrophic performances for their party in modern history. Voters appear to have rejected Donald Trump the person. More importantly, they have rejected much of the Democratic platform as well.

Pollsters predicted that the Democrats would recapture the Senate, handing their far-left agenda on a silver White House platter for a President Joe Biden to sign off. That did not happen. Several of the GOP candidates who were facing danger to reelection ran ahead of the President in their states. Susan Collins, who was not predicted to win her race by a single poll, is returning to Congress. The GOP will most likely face two run-off races in Georgia but both are favourable to them without Trump at the top of the ticket.
