Only 6 Presidents have lost reelection, The House and The Senate

    When President Trump lost in November, he joined some select and unpleasant company: presidents who failed to win a second term. Modern presidents most often win reelection, including all three of Trump’s immediate predecessors. Trump became just the 10th elected president to run a second time and lose.

    And Tuesday’s results in Georgia are now in line to put him among an even-more select group: presidents who not only lost the reelection, but also lost both chambers of Congress.

    Raphael Warnock’s win and fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff’s current lead, if it holds, would give Democrats 50 votes in the Senate and effective control, by virtue of Vice President-elect Kamala D. Harris breaking ties. That would mean the GOP lost the House in 2018 and now the presidency and the Senate in 2020, after it came into office holding all three levers of power.

    Trump would become the first elected president since the Great Depression to lose all three in a single term, and he would join just five other presidents in doing so.

    I'm thinking his damage on the GOP is not done especially now that he's a private citizen. He'll continue sabotaging the GOP...causing them to lose more seats in the mid-terms and the 2024 elections.

    Hopefully the GOP will be better equip to recognize a Trojan Horse or cancer within their ranks and not allow it (don't support it) if it want's to run for an elected office in Congress.

    So far, they are doing a poor job in house cleaning out the crap on the floor.
