Forecasts for Tuesday's midterm elections were so grim for Republicans that poll watchers joked the results would mean either the end of the Trump era or the end of the polling profession, according to a column by Moira Donegan in The Guardian. Donegan wrote that the electorate voted decisively to curb the president's power and that American voters had finally said "enough" to Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported that the electoral backlash extended even into deep red states. In a New York Times article by Peter Baker, the paper indicated that President Trump has lost his hold over the coalition that lifted him to the White House twice. The article's headline described angry voters as ushering in the beginning of the end of the Trump era.
The two accounts differ in emphasis. The Guardian's piece focused on limits on presidential power, while The New York Times focused on the coalition that carried Trump into office. Both accounts treat the results as a rebuke of the president's standing, but the sources frame that rebuke in different ways.
Neither source reports vote totals, individual races or the number of seats that changed hands. The Guardian item is a column, and its summary does not describe how the results will affect the rest of Trump's term. The New York Times summary also does not say how the president's coalition will respond in the months ahead.
