Looking forward, the GOP may also be considering whether they want Trump to lead the party, especially as Tuesday was the third major election in which Trump has lost in four years, following the 2018 midterms—where the Democrats took control of the House and flipped several gubernatorial races—and his own 2020 election defeat to Biden.
Bernard Tamas, associate professor of political science at Valdosta State University in Georgia, said that November 8 was a "particularly bad election" for Trump
"His image as a political heavyweight has taken a hit. His choice of candidates have had mixed success, and more importantly, lost critical elections that the Republicans had clearly expected to win," Tamas told Newsweek.
