Once the midterms euphoria has subsided, the Democratic Party will also have to turn toward 2028. The first contenders should crowd the gate in the coming weeks, before the first primaries scheduled for January 2028. His influence could wane now that he is at the end of his term. Yet many Republicans thought they could turn the page on Trump as early as 2024.
The midterm elections delivered their verdict on Wednesday, November 4. Republicans and Democrats are now turning toward the 2028 presidential election.
We saw a rejection of Donald Trump from part of his electorate, but we also saw another part that held firm. After these midterms, the electoral base is completely fractured.
If they do not want to be repudiated by Donald Trump, they will have to continue supporting what he does over the next two years. Beware of contenders who might seek to distance themselves from the head of state.
Donald Trump still has his social networks, which allow him to keep Republicans in line. He has continued to exert his influence on the party.
The succession war has been officially declared among Republicans. Democrats, for their part, must ask themselves how to capitalize on their spectacular victories won on Wednesday.
