Former President Donald Trump declared Sunday that it was “not my fault” that Republicans exceeded expectations in the midterm elections, blaming both the Supreme Court ruling and the party’s position on abortion.
Trump, writing on his Truth Social platform, also launched some of his usual criticisms of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s spending on candidates.
‘It wasn’t my fault that the Republicans fell short of expectations in the midterms. I was 233-20!’ he said, referencing his history with endorsements.
He then focused on the pro-life faction of the party, saying: “It was the ‘abortion issue,’ mishandled by many Republicans, especially those who steadfastly insisted on No exceptions, even in the case of rape, incest, or the lives of children.” Mother, that lost a large number of voters.

Former President Trump not only believes that betting on abortion lost them voters, but that those who had seen Roe v. Wade basically disappeared from the political process altogether.
“In addition, the people who lobbied so hard against abortion for decades got their wish from the US Supreme Court, and just disappeared, never to be seen again,” he added.
Trump threw yet another shot at McConnell’s spending on the candidates, saying ‘Also, Mitch stupid $’!
The 45th president appointed three pro-life justices to the court during his tenure, with Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch voting to strike down Roe v. Wade.
The hill reported that exit polls showed abortion to be the second most important issue for voters.
While many suggested a ‘red wave’ would be coming in the midterms, the Democrats actually won a Senate seat, with John Fetterman, who suffered a stroke the day before the Democratic primary, defeating Dr. Mehmet Oz. endorsed by Trump.
While Kyrsten Sinema is now an independent, she likes Bernie Sanders and Maine Sen. Angus King meets with the Democrats, giving them 51 votes in the Senate.

The Republicans did win the House, but only by a narrow margin, with the GOP only winning nine seats.
Trump has taken the stance of endorsing the candidates pushing his claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. This has led the former president to endorse some radical candidates who beat more traditional Republicans in primary elections, but had little or no chance of winning against the Democratic challenger.
One of the most notable losses was the Senate race in Pennsylvania, where the Trump-backed Oz lost to Fetterman. Many experts believe that if former hedge fund CEO David McCormick were the Republican nominee, he could have easily held his own against Fetterman.
The Pennsylvania loss was one of the races that led Democrats to increase their narrow majority in the Senate from 50-50 to 51-50.
Trump announced in November that he would make a third run for the White House after losing his re-election bid to President Joe Biden in 2020.

Since then, many grassroots Republicans have come out against Trump’s third run, saying they want different blood to take on Biden in 2024.
Polls have shown Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis emerging as the most popular Republican to be nominated in 2024, even surpassing Trump.
Republican National Committee (RNC) chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also told Cats Roundtable host John Catsimatidis this weekend that the “ticket split” was a major factor in the lack of a “red wave” of the Republican Party.
It also deflected blame away from the RNC for the more radical far-right candidates winning the 2022 midterm primaries.
“We did not win as much as we wanted to win,” he said when evaluating the midterm elections.
Many grassroots Republicans have come out against Trump’s third offer, claiming they want different blood to take on Biden in 2024.
“We have to see what happened in each state, what happened in each race,” he added. ‘We saw very high Republican turnout. But we saw a lot of split votes, where one Republican would win statewide… but the other Republican would run statewide… the Republicans actually voted for the Democrat. We have to find out what that is.
‘The RNC, we do not choose the candidates. The voters do,” McDaniel continued. ‘We don’t do messaging. That depends on the campaigns.
But we do participate. The only thing we’re seeing right now is that turnout was very high, but the Republicans didn’t vote for all the Republican candidates.’
