共和党在2026年中期选举中失败的影响以及特朗普之后共和党的未来

The Republican Party is entering a self-revision phase after a big loss in the midterm elections of 2026, which led to the collapse of the coalition that led Donald Trump to win the party's presidential nomination three times in a row. The result has raised questions about the party's post-Trump future.

Republicans face a tough choice between pursuing a “Trumpism” approach or seeking to chart a new course during Trump's remaining years in office. Outgoing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the election as an event approaching the level of extinction for the party.

On the other hand, Vice President J.D. Vance saw that the party was able to regain its momentum, and attributed the results to the anger of public opinion over the war with Iran, with the expectation that the repercussions would be chaotic and that the party would witness wide disagreements over the reasons for what happened.

Trump appointed Stephen Miller as the new White House chief of staff three days after the election, replacing Susie Wiles. The article was seen as an indication that Trump does not intend to soften his policies or rhetoric. Steve Bannon, one of the architects of the Maga movement, predicted a “civil war” within the party, attributing defeat to the economy and foreign wars.

The party lost control of the House and Senate, as well as the governorships of a number of Republican states. According to a New York Times analysis of voter data, support for Democratic candidates among Latino voters rose 29 percentage points between 2024 and 2026. And among young people from 18 to 29 years old with 33 points.

Indications, according to the article, indicate that Republicans may find it in their interest to distance themselves from Trump in preparation for the 2028 elections, while the party will closely monitor Trump's moves towards Iran and its repercussions on this race.
