The results of the US midterm elections are not yet fully released, but one thing is certain: the red tide that Republicans expected to sweep the United States has not appeared. This will affect not only the midterm elections, but also the US election in two years.
At present, the results of the Senate election have been decided, Democrats can continue to control the Senate, and the only chance for Republicans is the House of Representatives. Based on the current situation, Republicans can win the House by a narrow margin, which is completely out of line with the imaginary victory.
As a direct consequence of this, Republicans have become extremely skeptical of Trump.
After Trump was elected from office, because there were still a large number of Trump supporters around him, Republicans were forced to compromise and had to promote the election process with Trump as the core.
Trump has been blowing a lot and constantly endorsing Republican candidates, resulting in a considerable number of Republicans without Trump's endorsement being brushed off in advance.
If the Republican Party wins the midterm elections and is right to support Trump, then the next thing is very simple, fully cooperate with Trump's bid for the next US president and return the Republican Party to the White House.
However, the current situation shows that Trump is not as powerful as he himself boasts, and Americans are not buying it. While this has put the Republican Party in passivity, it has also made a large number of Republicans question Trump, and Trump's desire to get Republicans to support his candidacy for the next president is unrealistic.
Meanwhile, a Republican came out on top of the pack in the midterm elections. This person, named DeSantis, is the governor of Florida, and used to follow Trump, which can be called Trump's little fan.
With other Republicans generally worried, DeSantis achieved a jaw-dropping report card, defeating his opponent with a margin of nearly 20% of the vote, becoming the biggest highlight of the Republican Party in this midterm election.
And DeSantis not only won the governor's throne, but also won him the support of Republicans and became the favorite candidate for the next US election.
The first time DeSantis ran for governor was in 2018, when Trump was in the limelight, DeSantis hugged Trump's thigh, repeatedly emphasized his identity as a Trump supporter, and successfully won the gubernatorial election.
But after he became governor, he did not go exactly in Trump's direction, but followed the path of traditional conservatives, attracting a large number of conservative voters.
This is his magic weapon, when Trump is in power, he has the support of Trump supporters, when Trump loses power, there are conservative supporters in the bottom, and he has the support of both Republican factions, which finally makes him stand out in the midterm elections and become the biggest winner.
This makes Trump unacceptable, once, DeSantis won his position by supporting Trump, but now he wants to press Trump and become the new favorite of the Republican Party, so angry that Trump angrily denounces DeSantis as a sanctimonious person.
The US election needs to be a primary before the final competition, basically, the primary election is a show, and who can stand out from the primary is basically determined. For example, in the last US election, Biden was at a very disadvantage in the primary, but even so, everyone understands that Biden will eventually run on behalf of the Democratic Party.
Because election success represents huge interests, all sides will put forward the person most likely to win as the final candidate. The midterm elections show that it is difficult for Trump to lead the Republican Party to victory, and Trump's extreme ideas have proved to be of little effect, so the number of people who support his participation in the presidential election will naturally decrease.
As a traditional conservative politician, DeSantis is more attractive to traditional Republicans, and he can also win the support of some Trump supporters, which is much more likely to win than Trump. Therefore, it is likely that he will be named the Republican presidential candidate.
In the final analysis, Trump's far-right ideas are difficult to gain universal acceptance, and under the attack of the Republican establishment and the Democratic Party, Trump's return to the White House may only be a dream.
And judging from the current situation of the Democratic Party, Biden wants to be another US president, which is simply unrealistic. If nothing else, as long as the Republican Party can put forward a normal presidential candidate, there is a high probability that it can regain the White House, and DeSantis has this potential, especially under the background of Trump.
