Farewell Botox, heels and big hair: Is this the end of MAGA women?
US Democrats made major gains in the midterm elections, prompting commentators to describe the results as a rejection of Donald Trump and a sign of political change. The article also explores whether the polished, heavily styled image associated with some MAGA women is losing influence as Democratic candidates in practical-looking suits win attention.
Press reactions ranged from headlines declaring Republicans “Trumped” or Trump a “loser” to concern in Israel about the future of US-Israeli relations, particularly after Abdul El-Sayed became the first Muslim senator in the US. The article says Democrats will control both chambers of Congress, potentially limiting Trump’s domestic power and raising the prospect of impeachment, while warning he could respond with actions abroad. It contrasts the MAGA aesthetic, including the “Mar-a-Lago face” and tradwife dresses, with Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa’s sensible pantsuits.
In short
- Democrats’ midterm gains were widely read as a rebuke to Trump.
- The result could constrain Trump and reshape US-Israeli relations.
- The article asks whether the MAGA women’s look is losing ground.
