Trump Just Threw Two Republican Senate Losers Under The Bus For Exactly The Reason You Think

Donald Trump criticized Dan Bolduc and John O'Dea for losing their Senate races after disavowing Trump's false election fraud claims.

Former Republican President Donald Trump lashed out at two Republican Senate nominees who lost their races after disavowing his unfounded claims of election fraud.

Writing on his troubled social media platform Truth Social, Trump criticized Colorado Republican Senate candidate Joe O’Dea and New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate Don Bolduc after they lost to the Democratic incumbents.


Trump said O’Dea "lost BIG!" and reiterated his campaign slogan to "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Indeed, O'Dea broke with Trump on his lies that the 2020 presidential election was rife with fraud and abuse, at one point saying he would campaign against Trump if he launches another bid for the presidency.

On the subject of Bolduc's loss, Trump was more specific, saying he lost "when he disavowed... his longstanding stance on Election Fraud."

Trump added:

"Had he stayed strong and true, he would have won, easily. Lessons Learned!!!"

Bolduc endorsed Trump's lies during his primary, which he won decisively, but walked back his position days after winning the primary drawing the ire of Trump and other Republicans in the process.

Despite this, Trump officially endorsed Bolduc late last week, though that endorsement did nothing to fend off the incumbent, Democrat Maggie Hassan.

In many ways, this year's midterm elections were seen as a referendum on how much sway Trump's rhetoric still has over the American electorate, and the lack of a "red wave"—which Republican politicians and pollsters had long predicted—indicates that many voters have repudiated his lies and blatant attempts to subvert the democratic process.

The news Trump turned on the two Republicans did not surprise anyone who criticized the role he has played within the GOP.



The New York Timesreported that "Trump-backed candidates lost or were faring poorly" in key states and that the "close races on the rest of the electoral map confounded Mr. Trump," who had expected the projected "red wave" to materialize.

Although Trump endorsed about 300 candidates during the midterm election cycle—and Republicans saw key victories in states like Ohio and Florida—it is evident that his "quest for redemption" after losing the last presidential election has not necessarily resulted in Republicans remaining loyal to him, hurting his chances should he announce he will run in 2024.

Fox News Host Offers Chilling Threat To Dutch Queen After She Mocked 'Daddy Trump'

Fox News personality Raymond Arroyo was called out after he offered a chilling threat of a "bunker buster" to Queen Máxima of The Netherlands after she was caught on video mocking the way President Donald Trump speaks.

The Queen went viral last week after she turned toward news reporters' cameras and twisted her mouth to resemble Trump's speaking style while Trump was in conversation with her and her husband King Willem-Alexander at the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, where world leaders were gathered for the NATO summit.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
