WSJ: The Biggest Lesson Of 2022 Is Trump Picks Losers

From the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal:

A 51-49 Senate will make life far easier for Democrats over the next two years. No single Democrat will be able to block a Biden nominee, and Democrats will now have a majority on every committee. Republicans will have one more seat to overcome as they try to retake the Senate. And organizing failures shouldn’t obscure that the biggest lesson of the 2022 midterms is that Mr. Trump picks losers.

Republicans clearly could have regained the Senate this year, but Mr. Trump’s endorsed candidates lost in almost every swing state. J.D. Vance won Ohio, but only with the help of $32 million in media advertising from a Super Pac tied to Mr. McConnell. The evidence is overwhelming over the last three election cycles that Mr. Trump and the crazy parts of Trumpism alienate suburban voters and divide the GOP.
