Hello, and welcome back to Tomorrow Will Be Worse!

Well. This is the update I was waiting for. After Republicans, with the anchor of Donald Trump strapped to their necks, barely scraped across the finish line of the midterms on Tuesday night, Tina Nguyen finally delivers the dispatch I’ve been hungering to read. Even though we don’t have all the results yet, two results are clear: Trump lost and Ron DeSantis won, resoundingly. And as Tina has been telling us for months now, the split in the Republican base, as well as within the donor class, has been growing steadily, perfectly encapsulated by the dueling Trump and DeSantis you-can’t-sit-with-us Florida rallies last weekend.

First, of course, was the gut-punch realization that their “red wave” had not materialized: Fetterman beat Oz; Kelly leads Masters; Georgia is headed to a runoff. Low-quality and election-denying candidates (Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, John Gibbs) had clearly cost them winnable seats, and control of Congress may be unknown for weeks. Murdoch world quickly blamed Donald Trump for his “toxic” endorsements; meanwhile, MAGAworld called for the swampy heads of “The Macs,” Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell. But there was also another narrative that began to coalesce upon which all could agree: Florida, the new spiritual center of the Republican Party, looked like the happiest place on earth.

Governor Ron DeSantis, after all, not only won re-election, but did so by nearly twenty points, or about 1.5 million votes...
