Midterm elections were a ‘blue tsunami wrapping in a Cat 5 hurricane’: Joe Concha

Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections, flipping seats in six states and gaining the power to impeach President Donald Trump. Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha described the result as a “blue tsunami wrapped in a Cat 5 hurricane” and predicted Democrats would prioritise investigations and political retaliation over affordability.

Mississippi and Alaska races were still undecided on Wednesday morning. Concha said Democrats could target Trump, members of his family and administration, and suggested the White House ballroom project might become an impeachment issue because it lacked congressional funding approval. He also argued that socialist Democrats had gained influence, pointing to Abdul el Sayed’s Michigan win and speculating that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could run for president.
