Looks like the Republicans have united the country after all; they’ve united the nation against them!! MAGA has been repudiated. The people have spoken, and they are saying NO to MAGA.
Democrats on Tuesday won resounding victories in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and California, which collectively indicate that a bold repudiation of MAGA politics has taken hold. An honest headline might read: “Democrats are in array”—not “disarray,” the favorite dig about the party from political media and even Democratic donors, strategists, and pundits. The rending-the-garments, down-in-the-dumps attitude about the party’s future is due for an adjustment. The people have spoken.
There is nothing like overwhelming victories in two gubernatorial races with Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger defeating Winsome Earle-Sears by 15% and New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill triumphing over Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 13%; an absolute runaway victory in a redistricting fight aimed to counteract Donald Trump, with Prop 50 passing in California by an astonishing 25% (and counting); easy confirmation of three Democratic Pennsylvania judges; and a smashing victory for New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (by 9%), who has been demonized by Donald Trump, who endorsed his disgraced opponent, Andrew Cuomo.
The repudiation of anyone and anything associated with Trump should have come as no surprise. For months, it has been apparent that MAGA Republicans, not Democrats, are in a heap of trouble. Most importantly, Americans by a wide margin say Trump has overreached, abusing his power. Before voters cast their ballots Tuesday, a spate of polls showed Trump at or near all-time lows in approval and all-time highs in disapproval. In survey after survey, the American people have overwhelmingly voiced their disapproval of his handling of the economy, trade, prices, foreign policy, healthcare, and immigration. A significant majority disapproves of his deployment of troops in U.S. cities, turning his immigration stance into a liability.
If Democrats were concerned that the message about Trump’s authoritarian threat and his utter incompetence in governing had not gotten through, the data should provide some reassurance. Democrats have also opened a substantial lead in the generic polls, suggesting that voters do trust them more than do-nothing MAGA Republicans. On the shutdown specifically, Americans’ views have (as we predicted) held steady in blaming Trump and the Republicans in Congress more than Democrats. Senate Democrats contemplating some sort of deal should remember which side has the upper hand, underscored by last night’s historic triumphs.

We are truly in the darkest timeline when MTG is the voice of reason in the Republican party. Wow. But damn, gotta respect her for listening to her constituents and not just toeing the party line.

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls it 'an embarrassment' the Republican-led House isn't in session during the shutdown
The Georgia Republican sharply criticized her party during an appearance on "The View" but focused her remarks on congressional Republicans, not President Donald Trump.
