MAGA darling Ann Coulter delivers devastating verdict for Republicans on midterm elections: ‘bloodbath’

Ann Coulter became the latest conservative to sound the alarm for a Republican party heading into what she believes could be a ‘bloodbath’ of a midterm election. 

Coulter, 64, an ally turned skeptic of Donald Trump, said that the Republicans are headed for an unprecedented defeat in November. 

‘Republicans are about to be completely wiped out in the midterms, this is going to be a bloodbath like we haven’t seen before,’ she said on her podcast, Unsafe.

She cited Trump’s handling of the war in Iran as a main reason polling shows Democrats leading in key races.  

‘We have replaced the leadership, the mullahs running Iran with either the equivalent or worse mullahs,’ she said of what’s happened in Iran after the ayatollah was killed.

‘We’ve made Iran way stronger. Turns out they don’t even need a nuke. They can just shut down the Strait of Hormuz.’

Trump has maintained that the Strait of Hormuz is open and in American control.

Coulter blamed Trump for the war and its consequences but stood up for JD Vance, believing the Vice President is being made to take the fall for the rest of the administration.

‘Of course, everyone’s blaming the one person who opposed the war in the administration, JD Vance. We might wanna go back and look at who were the biggest cheerleaders for this war.’ 

Trump is facing record low approval ratings, an unpopular war in Iran, and high gas prices as the elections are just weeks away.

Many Republican insiders in Washington are privately bracing for a major Democratic wave to sweep them out of power in Congress, leaving Trump a lame duck president for his final two years in office. 

The latest polls show that Republicans are running behind, particularly in critical Senate races in Ohio, North Carolina, Michigan, and even traditionally safe states for Republicans like Iowa and Texas.

The shift toward Democratic control in the prediction market has been particularly notable because Republicans held the advantage in the Senate market for much of the campaign. 

That has political consultants prepared for an electoral onslaught similar to the 2006 midterms under President George W Bush.

In 2006, Bush was also suffering from historically low approval ratings, an unpopular war in Iraq, and higher than usual gas prices.

Republicans at the time warned Americans not to support Democrats, citing fears of California liberal Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

But Democrats stormed into the Congressional majority anyway, gaining 31 seats in the House of Representatives and six seats in the Senate.

‘It was a thumping,’ Bush famously said after the election. 

A recent CNN/SSRS poll showed that just 29 percent of US adults said they approve of the president’s handling of foreign affairs while 71 percent disapproved.

Republicans currently hold 53 Senate seats compared with 47 for Democrats and have an advantage of 219-214 in the House.

The battle for the lower chamber is looking increasingly difficult for Republicans, with Democrats currently projected to hold around 230 seats compared with 200 for Republicans.

Democrats need 218 seats for a majority there and would need 51 Senate seats to be able to avoid a tiebreaking vote from Vance.
