Tale of 2 midterms: Republican redistricting 'backfired' while Democrats 'exceeded all expectations'

Following a resounding Midterm election defeat, Is MAGA Losing Its Grip on the Republican Party? Erin Ogunkeye is pleased to welcome Bryan Lanza, Republican strategist and Partner in Mercury's Washington DC office. "The big thing about MAGA was confrontation, in your face," explained Lanza. But following a veritable blue wave, he believes the electorate has delivered a warning: "We need to move beyond that." While Donald Trump has acknowledged the Democratic victory, at times combative, at times conciliatory, Lanza argues that the president must begin his final two years in office reversing damaging tariffs, addressing widespread dissatisfaction with immigration enforcement and navigating a highly unpopular Iran war.
