RON DESANTIS: "If last night was a presidential election, you could bring back George Washington from the dead, and you put an R by his name? He would have LOST that election... He would have had no chance." “I hate to be pessimistic... [but] we need a shift in the underlying dynamics before Republicans could really even talk about being viable in 2028." "I know it’s probably going to be hard for people to hear that, but I’m kind of beyond the gaslighting and trying to say Democrats can never win and we’re just so much better — they’re socialists." "They played that card throughout this midterm, and it didn’t work.” According to NBC News, Democrats are on track for 258 House seats, their largest majority in nearly two decades, while also flipping at least six Senate seats. DeSantis also recently warned that Republicans may not have a real shot at controlling the Senate until 2032, calling the midterms “close to an extinction-level event” for the GOP. This was a beating, and it’s going to take a long time to recover.
