MADRID, 22 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Polls in the United States point to former President Donald Trump as the main loser in the recent mid-term elections in which he openly supported some hard-line Republican Party candidates who, however, did not reap the results that could be expected.
According to the demographic study carried out by Harvard CAPS-Harris exclusively for The Hill, 20 percent of those surveyed consider that Trump was the biggest loser in the election on November 8. Behind him, with 15 percent, is the entire Democratic Party.
Likewise, the candidates most related to Trump, known as ‘MAGA Republicans’ -for the slogan ‘Make America Great Again’, ‘Make America great again’, in Spanish– are also considered by 14 percent of those surveyed as the main losers.
12 percent of those surveyed have pointed to the group of Republican candidates as the great disappointment of the night. 23 percent, however, have acknowledged that their decision was not clear and they have not opted for any of the options.
“Trump emerges from the (presidential) elections as a much weaker candidate for re-election than before the midterm elections,” said the co-director of the survey, Mark Penn, who has stressed that the former president has shown his support for a group of “losing candidates”.
The ‘midterms’ were held on November 8 and resulted in the Democratic Party retaining the majority in the Senate, an unexpected result especially for some Republicans who, despite managing to control the House of Representatives, did not certify the ‘red wave’ ‘ (because of the color of the formation) that Trump predicted.
