Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
*Black woman.
The vast majority didn’t want her because she was black, please don’t gloss over this with technicalities.
Complete outsider here; don’t Americans usually call people from Africa black? Isn’t one of Kamala’s parents from India? Like, I’ve never heard anyone refer to someone from China as “black” before, but I do have an Eastern-European friend who received some anti-Mexican sentiment when he visited the U.S.
She’s mixed race
Right from her wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris
I think the point is that while certainly some Americans would not want someone of Indian descent as President, there are a lot more who would be upset by a black President.
Obama was one of our most popular presidents. Yes, race played a part of it, but she lost because she was a terrible candidate, who ran a terrible campaign, on the coat-tails of a terrible president.
I haven’t seen much evidence that her race had all that much to do with it.
