Trump's new 'desperate' outburst a sign he knows GOP faces midterm walloping: Dem lawmaker

President Donald Trump’s outburst Sunday morning at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) was proof that the president knows his party is in for a dramatic loss next year in the midterm elections, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) asserted Sunday on MS NOW.

Earlier this week, Trump pardoned Cuellar, who was indicted last year on bribery, acting as a foreign agent, money laundering and conspiracy charges. However, after learning of Cuellar’s decision to run for re-election as a Democrat, Trump attacked the right-wing Democrat for demonstrating “such a lack of loyalty.”

Fox News 'starting to crack' as 'even Trump's best bulwarks' are now attacking him: report

While President Donald Trump has struggled to successfully counter Democrats’ recent messaging strategy around affordability – which has handed the party a series of blowout victories in last month’s off-year elections – his attempts are now being challenged “even in places that once functioned as Trump’s best bulwarks,” Salon reported Sunday.

The Democratic Party scored a series of victories last month that handed it two governorships, the mayoral seat in a highly contested race in New York City, New York, and additional state House seats in two states, one of which netted the party a supermajority. And, nearly every Democratic candidate leaned heavily into messaging around affordability.

'What the hell have you done?!' Trump foe targets president after beating DOJ indictment

A prosecutor who beat a DOJ indictment hit back on Saturday, saying that President Donald Trump has done nothing to improve the dangerous fentanyl situation in the U.S., choosing instead to "pardon a drug kingpin."

New York Attorney General Letitia James hit back against Trump, who sought her indictment for alleged mortgage crimes apparently in response to her successful criminal indictment against him on numerous business fraud counts ahead of the 2024 election. The case brought against James was tossed, and then a grand jury refused to issue a second indictment against her.

'No more Mr. Nice guy!' Trump erupts as Dem lawmaker he pardoned sticks with party

President Donald Trump lashed out at Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) on Sunday after learning that the lawmaker – whom he had pardoned this week following bribery and conspiracy charges – still plans to run for re-election as a Democrat, decrying it as “such a lack of loyalty.”

Donald Trump's character made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he crashed a Pete Hegseth press conference and was awoken from a dream about New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

'Stunning': Conservative analyst flags evidence Trump wing of the GOP is rapidly declining

Ordinarily, an election in an area as conservative as Tennessee's 7th Congressional District isn't a major story. That district, which Donald Trump carried by 22 percent in 2024, typically goes hard-right — and a GOP victory comes as no surprise.

But on Tuesday, December 2 in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, political strategists paid very close attention to a special election that found Democrat Aftyn Behn competing with Republican Matt Van Epps — who won, but by much smaller margins than Trump. The election became largely a referendum on Trump's second presidency, and according to conservative New York Times columnist David French, the election results are a very bad sign for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms.
