[Democratic Chairman: Don't Underestimate Trump in Midterm Elections; Trumpism Won't End with His Departure] 1. Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin predicts a historic victory for the Democrats in Tuesday's midterm elections, but warned his party hours before the first polling stations closed: "Never underestimate Trump as long as he's president." 2. Martin expressed confidence that the Democrats will at least win back the House of Representatives, providing a check on Trump's power, and believes they have a good chance of winning the Senate as well. However, he emphasized that Trumpism remains a powerful political and ideological force; even in a "lame duck" state, Trump still wields enormous power, and his control over the Republican Party has not diminished. 3. Martin also stated that looking ahead to 2028, potential successors to Trump include Rubio, Vance, and Hegses, all of whom are Trump followers. He believes that the idea that Trumpism will end with Trump's departure from office is a complete fallacy.
