Opinion by Greg Sargent: Why the plight of Democrats elected in the 2018 anti-Trump wave is so frightening.
As we hurtle into the final stretch of the midterm elections, many of the Democrats who were elected in 2018 are now staring into the abyss of defeat. And at the core of their plight sits an unnerving paradox.On one hand, the coalition that elected a Democratic House in 2018 — and then ended Donald Trump’s presidency in 2020 — appears to be fraying, now that Trump is no longer in the White House. This likely means — at minimum — a Republican takeover of the House.
On the other hand, the threat of Trumpism remains very much alive. Yet that coalition is not mobilizing against it — allowing Trumpism to remain as a durable force in our politics.the express purpose of stopping Trump — without any background in politics. Abigail Spanberger , Elissa Slotkin and Elaine Luria had national security and military careers. Tom Malinowski had a background in diplomacy and human rights. Sharice Davids had been an MMA fighter.
anti-Trump backlash helped Democrats overperform among White voters, especially female independents and educated suburbanites, but also among rural and exurban voters.
