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.
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.
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.
From an insider- What Americans call people has nothing to do with where they’re from and is simply based on looks. She looks more black than Indian, so she’s black. It’s as simple as the average American. I doubt the majority of maga even know her ethnicity at all beyond the color of her skin.
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.
