US Midterm Elections 2026: Welcome to the Post-Trump Era

The article analyzes the upcoming 2026 US midterm elections, arguing they mark the beginning of a post-Trump era regardless of the outcome. It notes that polls predict a Democratic 'blue wave' in the House and significant defensive challenges for Republicans in the Senate, leading some GOP members to fear a 'bloodbath.' The piece highlights President Trump’s declining vitality and his reliance on severe personal attacks against opponents, specifically citing his support for a campaign video involving a candidate’s mother who had lost custody due to her partner’s abuse. This strategy has been described as repulsive by parts of the Republican Party itself.
