Do the midterm results spell trouble for Donald Trump?
Going into the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, things didn't look good for the Democrats.
Inflation is high, approval ratings for U.S. President Joe Biden are low, and traditionally, the sitting president's party loses seats in the midterms. So, it seemed like Republicans would clean up and pundits and politicians predicted the electoral map would reflect a red wave.
But the Democrats performed better than expected, and the wave didn't materialize. The dismal performance by the GOP has sparked introspection in the party and amplified questions about whether Donald Trump is its secret weapon, or the kiss of death.
Today, CBC's Alex Panetta takes us through what the midterm results might mean for the future of the Republican party and its devotion to Donald Trump.
