I’m not aware of any major GOP election wins since 2024. It’s been a steady stream of special election defeats for them since November of that year.

The cult voters are always going to be there. Not sure why in the world you’d ever expect them not to be. Of course, the cult had a lot of help getting him over 270 in 2024, and increasingly those voters are not there. And statistically, younger voters, which is what the OP is talking about, are less likely to vote in mid terms no matter what party they’re affiliated with. That’s been a political law of physics for quite a while now.
