$CAP $AIO $JCT U.S. House Speaker and Republican Mike Johnson said, “Losing the midterm elections is a historical pattern”: In the past 90 years, there have been only two occasions when an incumbent president’s party gained or held on to seats during the first two years of his term.

U.S. media are predicting a sweeping Democratic victory in the midterm elections, with the party retaking control of both the House and Senate. In response, House Speaker and Republican Mike Johnson said that in the past 90 years, there have been only two occasions when an incumbent president’s party gained or held on to seats during the first two years of his term. He said bluntly, “Tonight, it seems the historical pattern will continue.”

Johnson also said that if Democrats turn the next two years into a farce of revenge, lawfare, and partisan gamesmanship, it will hurt all Americans. House Republicans will serve as a “firewall” to make sure that does not happen.

Johnson is viewed as Trump’s key proxy on Capitol Hill. Trump has repeatedly voiced his “full support” for Johnson publicly. Johnson said he stays in close contact with Trump, who even calls him at 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. to discuss business. Johnson joked that “sleep is for cowards,” highlighting their shared work ethic and rapport.#美国中期选举:市场有哪些期待? #美国10月非农出炉:降息还有戏吗? #AMD超预期大涨,AI叙事延续?
