Original title: Biden suffered a “nightmare” in Florida after his visit to Europe, and the Democratic midterm elections were “clouded”. US media: Biden has become a “negative equity.”

[Global Times Special Correspondent Lin Ri]US President Biden returned to the White House in the early morning of the 3rd US Eastern Time, and he was greeted by the biggest “nightmare” since he took office-the Democratic Party in the Virginia state election. Rout. In New Jersey, the situation is not optimistic. Although Murphy, the Democratic candidate, barely kept the governorship, the difficulty was far greater than expected. As the weather vane for the mid-term elections of the US Congress next year, the “red waves” tumbling in these two elections have caused “clouds” over the Democratic Party. On Wednesday afternoon, Biden tried to encourage the Democrats with his previous experience of “repeating defeats and battles.” However, the party’s lawmakers were still polarized on how to attract voters in the next step. Whether the Democratic Party and Biden can wake up from this “nightmare” is still unknown.

From Florida to New York State, the Republican Party “explodes its territories”

According to “USA Today”, Associated Press and other media reports on the 4th, in Virginia, which Biden won by 10% in 2020, Republican governor candidate Yan King defeated Democrat McAuliffe and became the state for 12 years. The first Republican governor since. In addition, Sears, a Republican, defeated his Democratic opponent and became the first minority female lieutenant governor of Virginia. In the election for the head of the state’s Department of Justice, Democrat Herring also conceded to Republican Miares. According to incomplete statistics, the Democrats will lose their majority in the Virginia House of Representatives. Of the 100 seats in the Virginia House of Representatives, Republicans are expected to win 52 seats, and counting the error, they will also get at least 50 seats.

In New Jersey, where Biden won by 15 percentage points last year, all walks of life generally expected the current Democratic governor Murphy to win easily, because the state has 1 million more registered Democratic voters than Republican voters. However, in the vote counting process, Murphy lags behind the Republican opponent Catarelli for most of the time. It wasn’t until the Associated Press announced Murphy’s victory on the evening of the 3rd that the Democratic Party avoided a “humiliating defeat.”

In addition, in the New York State election on Tuesday, although Democrat Adams easily won the throne of New York Mayor, in Long Island, Nassau County and other areas, the Republican Party won multiple administrative positions, proving that even in the stronghold of American liberals. One, they can also “open up new territory.”

Biden became “negative equity”

Shocking-some US media used this term to describe the shock to the Democratic Party from the results of Tuesday’s election. “Washington Post” said that from Virginia to the suburbs of Philadelphia to Long Island, voters clearly rejected the Democratic Party on Tuesday, the breadth and depth of which even exceeded the previous expectations of some pessimistic tacticians. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Virginia and New Jersey elections are the first public opinion tests Biden has faced since he took office. The results of these two elections showed that voters were disappointed in the leadership of the Democratic Party and worried about some of its liberal policies. The British “Financial Times” commented that the election results in Virginia and New Jersey were “fatal” for Biden. According to the Los Angeles Times, some analysts said that Biden now looks “weak and unable to fulfill his promise.” The Washington Post believes that Biden has become a “negative equity” for Democrats participating in the campaign.

The Democratic Party is worried that this political “earthquake” will shake Capitol Hill. According to the New York Times, Tuesday’s election is reminiscent of 2009. At that time, the Republicans won the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, in some local elections on Long Island, and even defeated the Democrats in the elections for the New York City Council. In the second year, they regained the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. “Los Angeles Times” quoted House Republican leader McCarthy’s prediction that the Republican Party will perform better in 2022 than in 2010. In the 2010 midterm elections, the Democratic Party lost 63 seats.

The Democratic Party’s infighting continues

“How much responsibility should you bear in the Democratic election defeat?” According to media reports such as the Los Angeles Times, a reporter raised this issue with Biden at the White House on Wednesday. The reporter also asked whether Biden’s $1.75 trillion “rebuild better” social expenditure bill passed before the election would enable the Democrats to reverse the defeat? Biden does not want to take full responsibility for the failure of the Democratic Party, saying that the governor of Virginia always opposes the party’s camp. The U.S. President said that if the above bill is passed before the election, it will be helpful to Democratic candidates, but it will not necessarily change the result, because “I am not sure that it can change the support of (former president) Trump. Very conservative voters in the red constituency”. Biden also emphasized that the Democratic Party’s problem lies in execution, not its vision. However, the 78-year-old senior politician said that he had also suffered many setbacks, hoping to boost the morale of the Democratic Party. When he left the room, a reporter asked him what he had to say to the MPs who were negotiating the social spending bill. Biden turned around and said: “Put it on my desk… I believe it. Next weekend, in China, we will see the bill passed.”

Biden may be too optimistic. The election does not seem to bring the Democrats together. The Wall Street Journal analyzed that many Democrats attributed their failure in Virginia to Biden’s failure to pass the Democratic priorities in Congress. Some Democratic lawmakers urgently feel the need to motivate the party’s core voters, and the latter even hope that the Democratic Party will reach an agreement on the “Better Rebuild” bill. Others worry that doing so will be considered excessive liberalism. “In the battle between the progressive and moderate Democrats, the Republican Party won.” said New York State Democratic former U.S. Representative Israel.
