Critics Feign Trump’s ‘Defeat’

Right or wrong, an overwhelming majority of supporters of the Republican Party in the United States have not been able to erase their conviction that the presidential election victory in 2020 was stolen from Donald Trump. Americans fear deep division and a serious threat to their democracy. The November 8 midterm polls reconfirmed it, though Trump’s long-time critics deny it. While the Republicans have won the majority in the 435-member House of Representatives, President Joe Biden’s Democratic Party has a razor thin margin in the 100-seat senate.
