CNN Senior Political Analyst Ron Brownstein on Tuesday laid out what appears to be Donald Trump’s damaging effect on the Republican Party.
Following the defeat of Trump-endorsed Herschel Walker by incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in the Georgia runoff election, Brownstein noted that all seven Trump-endorsed candidates for governor or U.S. Senate in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia, they’ve already lost.
The defeats show that suburban voters have turned “sharply” against the party, Brownstein said.
“There’s a consistent pattern here of these large, densely populated, booming metro population centers rejecting the Trump-era definition of the party, and their increased rural strength not being enough to overcome that,” Brownstein added.
