If you and the Democrats keep talking about this and focus on it on MSNBC to the exclusion of the issues that really matter. I'll see you in November because you're going to get slaughtered in this midterm election. It's going to be a landslide.View on YouTube
The prediction described the 2022 midterms as a coming Republican landslide in which Democrats would be “slaughtered” if they kept emphasizing January 6. That outcome did not occur.
Key results:
- U.S. House: Republicans did gain the House, but only narrowly: 222 Republican seats to 213 Democratic seats, a net GOP pickup of 9. Historical midterms commonly see much larger losses for the president’s party, and analysts characterized 2022 as much closer than expected, not a blowout. (en.wikipedia.org)
- U.S. Senate: Democrats not only held the Senate, they gained one seat (net +1, including flipping Pennsylvania), ending with effective control of 51–49. This is the opposite of a Democratic “slaughter.” (en.wikipedia.org)
- Governors and state races: Democrats made a net gain of two governorships and flipped several state legislative chambers, again inconsistent with a nationwide Republican landslide. (en.wikipedia.org)
Across outlets and post‑election analysis, the consensus was that the much‑touted “red wave” or “landslide” did not materialize; instead, Democrats outperformed historical midterm expectations and many pre‑election forecasts. Even Republican and right‑leaning commentators repeatedly noted that the “red wave” failed to happen. (en.wikipedia.org)
Because the actual results were mixed and relatively close—rather than a decisive Republican landslide in which Democrats were “slaughtered”—this prediction is best judged as wrong, regardless of how one interprets the conditional about Democratic messaging on January 6.
