The midterm election is less than a month away. And all signs point to a bloodbath for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. The generic congressional ballot, which measures whether voters will pick a generic Democrat or Republican for Congress, shows Democrats have a nine-point lead.
On an individual level, Democrats have wide leads in swing states like Georgia and North Carolina. And Trump’s gamble to replace the genteel Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn with MAGA Attorney General Ken Paxton seems to be blowing up in his face, as Democrat James Talarico leads in polling and fundraising. Vice President JD Vance had to be sent to Alaska Monday, which Trump won by 13 points, to campaign for Dan Sullivan.
