Why did Republicans suffer a collective defeat on Super Tuesday? Trump: Because I was not on the ballot
On Wednesday (November 5th), local time, U.S. President Trump said in a speech on economic issues to business leaders in Miami that economic anxiety caused by factors such as government shutdown is damaging the political prospects of the Republican P
Before heading to Miami that day, Trump discussed the local election results from the previous night during a breakfast with Republican senators at the White House.
"We didn't think we could win last night because those areas are traditionally Democratic strongholds, but I don't think it's good for the Republicans," Trump said at the breakfast meeting. "I'm not sure who it's beneficial to. We learned a lot of le
Trump said the Republican Party would further discuss the significance of this loss and its relationship with the government shutdown.
The previous day, Republicans suffered a devastating defeat in local elections in some key states, and exit polls showed that voters are deeply concerned about economic issues.
Trump also tweeted on the same day to summarize the reasons for the Republican defeat. 'Polls showed that 'Trump is not on the ballot, and the government shutdown are the two main reasons for the Republican defeat in tonight's election,' Trump wrote

Discussion on Three Economic Indicators of the U.S. Economy
Despite voters' concerns about the U.S. economy, Trump mentioned three 'positive economic indicators' in his speech: the stock market hitting new highs, steady wage increases, and easier job finding for native American workers.
"This is the golden age of America," Trump said in his speech. "Today, the number of American workers employed has increased by nearly 2 million since I took office," Trump said.
Trump also stated that any economic recession is due to the fact that his economic policies require a 'transition period' to truly take effect. Additionally, since his return to the presidency, 'the United States has received $18 trillion in investme
Trump said, The United States now has the most powerful economy, but many people do not realize this because the problem lies in communication.
"These are the topics that you need to discuss," Trump said in his speech. "If you don't talk about these topics, then you won't get good results in the election."
Trump acknowledged in his speech that the responsibility for the government shutdown falls more on the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, and stated that the Republicans must restart the government or face further political repercussions.
Previously, Trump had been urging senators to adopt the nuclear option by dismantling the legislative filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate.
If you look at the polls, you will find that the government shutdown has a big negative impact on the Republicans. We must reopen the country.

Will the Trump administration shift its propaganda focus?
James Blair, the political director of the Republican National Committee and the 2024 presidential campaign, said on Wednesday that President Trump plans to refocus his political propaganda on the cost of living issue after the Democrats' overwhelmin
"President Trump is very concerned about the current situation, and like everyone else, he understands that economic recovery takes time, but all the fundamentals are in place. I think you will see him pay very close attention to issues like prices a
Blair stated that the strict focus on cost of living issues by the winners in the election on Tuesday was key to their success.
(Why did Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York, perform so well last night? Because he has always been committed to paying attention to cost of living issues.) He said, 'People may talk about many reasons for his victory, but the fact is that
Blair stated that the Republican candidates who were defeated by the elected governors of New Jersey and Virginia on Tuesday had misjudged the voters' wishes. The New Jersey elected governor's campaign advertisements were almost entirely positive, fo
"Jack (the Republican candidate) didn't really talk about these issues," Blair said. "He spoke about taxes and received votes on that topic, but he didn't effectively discuss the issue of affordability. He mainly spoke generally about changing New Je
