Trump RUNS AWAY After Term BLOWN UP By Loss

I haven't libbed out like this in years

Last night was the most resoundingly clear message to Donald Trump since he took office — the people fucking hate you.

Dems had a clean sweep:

• Zohran won in NYC

• Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia

• Ghazala Hashmi will be the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and the first Muslim woman to hold a statewide office in the country

• Kaohly Her was elected to be the first female and Hmong American mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota

• Mikie Sherrill beat my personal arch nemesis in New Jersey

• Dems broke the Republican supermajority in the Mississippi State Senate

• Dems got the majority in the Minnesota Senate

• Jay Jones won in the Virginia AG race and will be Virginia’s first Black AG

• Prop 50 passed in California, allowing Newsom to fight back against MAGA gerrymandering

• JD Vance’s half brother lost to Dem Aftab Pureval in the Cincinnati mayoral race

• Marry Sheffield will be Detroit’s first female mayor

• Dems will keep control of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the Virginia House of Delegates

• Dems flipped two Public Service Commission seats in Georgia for the first time in 25 years, City Council seats in Rock Hill, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina, and at least 11 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates

• Every county in Virginia shifted left

• Sean Ryan will become mayor of Buffalo, NY

After losing everything yesterday, today he’s running away to try to spin his flailing economy into something that isn’t actively hurting the American people.

While Trump flees, Dems should take note of the wins we achieved — this is the perfect example of the kind of party we should be: the biggest tent that includes people across the center-left spectrum. The best candidate for each community won, whether that be a Democratic Socialist in NYC or someone more moderate in Virginia — and we (cough, cough, @DNC) should be welcoming them all.

Americans in every corner of the country turned out (in record numbers) to rebuke the cruelty, incompetence, and hatred of the Trump admin — and he and his allies are scared. Now is not the time for Dems to falter; they need to jump right back into the shutdown conversation and ride these wins as long as they can.

Virginians, many of whom are directly impacted by the shutdown and are furloughed or were laid off by DOGE’s destruction, were brave enough to vote for candidates they know will support the shutdown because they know what’s at stake. Dems can’t back down now — they need to keep fighting to lower healthcare costs and against the greed of MAGA-backed corporations.
