Trump had no interest in helping a “red wave” materialize this midterm election. His priority was ensuring election deniers won Republican primaries with his endorsement. While some of those candidates won general elections in conservative-leaning states, they underperformed in battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and Michigan in a rebuke to the anti-democratic forces he’s unleashed.
