Trump Dragged Them Down: Why Republicans Are Losing Elections in the US
Democrats have won a majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate following the U.S. congressional elections. The Republicans' defeat is a consequence of Trump's policies.
Ivan Us, chief consultant at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, spoke about this on 24 Channel. According to him, a veritable “blue wave” has swept across the United States.
A Defeat for Trump
As Us emphasized, the main reason for the Republicans’ defeat was the policies of Donald Trump, who effectively subordinated the party to his MAGA movement.
The mistake was made during the primaries, when Trump was chosen over Nikki Haley. Now even Brian Fitzpatrick and other Republicans who lost their races are feeling the consequences. Trump led them to this outcome,
Us noted.
Among the bad news for Ukraine is the defeat of Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, who was one of Kyiv’s strongest supporters. At the same time, the expert noted that it is important for Ukraine to bide its time until January 3, when the new Congress officially begins its work, and not to succumb to pressure from the current Trump administration.

The growing influence of the left wing and socialists within the Democratic Party also poses new challenges. The analyst noted that far-left politicians may be less concerned with supporting Ukraine and may seek pretexts to normalize relations with Russia.
It should be added that Trump’s allies lost even in traditionally Republican states, in particular, losing Senate seats in Texas for the first time in nearly forty years.
