A bombshell leak, protests and raw anger: It was a banner day for Trump – perhaps his best since leaving the White House, rickklein writes.
With midterm elections less than a year away, Democrats are trying to maintain and grow their majority while Republicans hope to win back the House and Senate.It was a wild Tuesday that felt like a throwback to the daily insanity of the Trump presidency -- a bombshell leak, protests and raw anger, scrambles around incalculable fallout and, as darkness fell, voters rendering judgment in sometimes contradictory ways.
Truthfully, even a Vance loss would most likely not have been a repudiation of Trump. The main critique from his rivals centered on him being insufficiently supportive of Trump in the past, with his main opponents using old tweets and quotes to argue that they were worthier heirs to the Trump legacy in Ohio.J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, speaks during a campaign rally in Newark, Ohio, April 30, 2022.
Elsewhere in Ohio, former Trump aide Max Miller easily won the GOP nomination in the Cleveland/Akron area -- in a redrawn district that opened up after Rep. Anthony Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump and then chose to leave Congress.Max Miller pumps his fist before speaking at a rallyin Wellington, Ohio, June 26, 2021.
Trump and other Republicans focused their ire on the fact of the leak, suggesting -- without evidence -- that liberals were behind an effort to tarnish the court and a high-profile opinion. But while nothing is final yet, Trump is now close to being able to deliver on a promise that Republican politicians have made for decades.
Gov. Larry Hogan, R-Md., used this first big primary night as the occasion to deliver a speech at the Reagan Library in California where he branded Trump as a loser for the GOP. Truer judgments of Trump's influence on politics will come later in the cycle. This month alone, his gamble on Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Senate primary and his backing of a primary challenger against Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp could backfire spectacularly.
