It is reported that the situation in the US midterm elections has basically become clear at this point: because they won 50 seats first, the Democrats won the Senate and became the majority; and Republican initially took the lead in the House of Representatives with a huge advantage of more than 40 seats, and was chased by the Democrats and was only a few dozen seats away, which means that even if they can win, they will only achieve a "small victory", which is far from the optimistic estimate at the beginning. The news mentioned that the Republicans were previously confident that they could "win the Senate with a small victory and win the House of Representatives with a big victory." Now this situation makes them quite embarrassed, and the Democrats have begun to celebrate.
Two days ago, the US media " Washington Post " and other media exposed that after experiencing incredible setbacks, the Republican Party not only did not unite but began to have "internal strife". Many members of the House of Representatives pointed the finger at Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell , believing that this "number one" is to blame for losing the election; many members of the House of Representatives began to blame Trump , because many of the campaigners recommended by Trump were also defeated by the Democratic Party. Trump and Trump supporters accused McConnell of "split", and on the other hand, they criticized other "selfish party members" for not having organizational discipline and only considering their own interests... In short, they are in chaos now.
Early, US Republican Senator Josh Hawley expressed his disappointment on social media. He said he is now in serious conflicts and will not support McConnell in continuing to serve as Republican leader, nor does he know what the top leaders of the Republican Party are doing now. Other senators such as Rick Scott also said that they must postpone the Senate leadership election, and they complained about senior leaders such as McConnell. Not only that, the emotional Hawley also wrote a short article saying: "The old party is dead, it is time to bury it, and now build something new."
Some analysts believe that Josh Hawley seems to be hinting at creating a "new party". He is very dissatisfied with the current Republican Party's performance and does not agree with Democrats. It is necessary to create a "new system". And now many senators affiliated with the Republican Party have begun to question the position, and even fiercely accuse their parties, denying support for election strategies and political views. Of course, new parties cannot be established in a short period of time. Their "internal strife" can only make the Democrats happier, which can even directly affect the subsequent House elections. Some Republicans who are trapped in "self-consuming" may not vote for the party leader but support their opponents or abstain from the power.
Also worth mentioning is, is it possible to establish a new party? Some American politicians believe that there is basically no hope. After hundreds of years of "evolution", the Democratic and Republican parties have developed to the current level of checks and balances. If a certain party splits a new party, it will only allow another party to "rule for a long time", which is a good thing to come to the door. There was a comment on this: "Trump also had the intention to establish a new party back then. He was very dissatisfied with the Republicans and believed that he had been 'betrayed'; in the end, this idea was cancelled because people who knew a little bit of politics knew it was unrealistic, so Trump came back honestly, and Hawley just shouted a few slogans."
