"This has been it": the midterms mark a turning point in Trumpism and the start of the 2028 presidential campaign

The recent midterm elections in the U.S. have been a significant test for Donald Trump's influence and the MAGA movement. With record spending and participation, these elections could shift control of Congress to Democrats and impact numerous state-level appointments. Historically, the president's party tends to lose seats during midterms, raising questions about Trump's future influence. Despite potential setbacks, Trump maintains a strong grip on the Republican Party, punishing disloyal members. However, internal divisions are emerging, with key figures publicly distancing themselves from him. The elections have sparked discussions about a possible civil war within the MAGA movement, as frustrations grow over missed opportunities and Trump's controversial decisions. As the political landscape shifts, Trump's media engagement has decreased, signaling potential challenges ahead for his leadership.
