Democratic strategists and organizers were on pins and needles when Election Night 2025 arrived, but their stress and anxiety turned to optimism when their party enjoyed a long list of victories — from double-digit wins in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia (a key swing state) to three Democratic Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices being retained in a landslide vote. Democrats expected the New Jersey race to be close; instead, Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli by 13 percent.
During an appearance on the Daily Beast podcast "Inside Trump's Head" posted on Thursday, November 6, author Michael Wolff argued that the election results were an across-the-board repudiation of Donald Trump's second presidency.
Wolff told host Joanna Coles, "We've just spent a year since last Election Day with Trump as this omnipotent figure in politics. And while I would not say that today spells in any way the end of Trump, I would say that the end of Trump could well happen."
Wolff essentially argued that while Trump isn't out, he is definitely down following Election Night 2025.
The author told Coles, "That's one of the great things in American politics: reversals, landslides — things that you would not dream of happening — happen... This has been a horrifying year of 'Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump' without any sense that anyone could stand in his way. You think these people are permanent, and it turns out that they are fleeting."
Wolff noted that he has spoken to some Trump White House officials since the election, saying they are "not happy campers."
Wolff told Coles, "That's one of the great things in American politics: reversals, landslides — things that you would not dream of happening — happen.... This has been a horrifying year of 'Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump' without any sense that anyone could stand in his way…. You think these people are permanent, and it turns out that they are fleeting."
