How should we respond to the unpleasant but expected Blue Wave that washed over the country on Election Day, 2025?
The first issue is clearly that the Republican Party has a turnout problem in off-year elections. A lot of the new MAGA Trump voters are centrist or liberal-leaning independents who have joined the GOP. These voters don’t get engaged beyond the presidential elections. Republican activists must concentrate their efforts on getting them to vote more. Better campaign strategies have to invest in more than liking President Trump and wanting to reverse the damage done by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Those two are out of the picture now, and there are still serious social, cultural, and political problems that voters want resolved.
